Accident comes two years after an "NCIS" on-set death

The accident comes two years after the death of a guard who was struck and killed by an out-of-control van during filming of an episode of "NCIS." Police said the van's 60-year-old driver suffered a medical condition and hit the security guard, who was 52.

The new episode being shot will serve as a backdoor pilot to a potential spinoff of "NCIS: LA," which itself is a spinoff of "NCIS."

The spinoff episode, produced by "NCIS" and "NCIS: LA" producer Shane Brennan, stars John Corbett and Kim Raver.

The accident is the third this year during production on a TV show. Two people were injured last month on the set of "Castle," and three people were killed in a helicopter crash two weeks ago while shooting a reality show.
