Producers said the driver, who suffered only minor bruises, was quickly rescued by firemen and taken to hospital.

The latest film in the long-running 007 series stars Daniel Craig and is due for release later this year.

But what a way to destroy the car: ironically, the car that went for a swim was to be used for a scene were Bond escape his pursuers by way of an exploding truck that plunges into the lake below ...
