On Thursday, a van spun over after running off the street in a desert area near Muleg¨¦ on the Baja California Sur peninsula, killing both actors and injuring several others. The crew was working in Santa
Rosalia, which is close to the crash site, according to local media reports.
The show's production company, RedRum, stated that the group was involved in an accident while travelling and that no safety precautions were violated.
The production company said in a statement, "All of us on the production of The Chosen One is shocked by the tragic accident."

Mishaps on film sets, while uncommon, are still on the upsurge as production has increased as well as crew members have started working excessive shifts. It's uncertain how the tragedy will impact the show's production going ahead, which has been abruptly halted following the crash. It is high time now that we recognise the dangers of working long hours and commuting while exhausted.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of actors Raymundo Gurdano and Juan Francisco Aguilar, and we eagerly await the results of the road accident investigation.
