The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued its final report on the Feb. 20, 2014 accident in Jesup, Ga., in which a crew member was killed during the filming of a motion picture. The Board found that the probable cause of the accident was the film crew’s unauthorized entry onto CSX Transportation’s right-of-way to film at the Altamaha River Bridge, despite CSX’s repeated denial of permission.
Contributing to the accident was the adjacent property owner’s actions to facilitate the film crew’s access to the bridge and the CSX right-of-way.
