An animal wrangler working on the Queensland movie set of blockbuster film Aquaman has been seriously injured in a freak accident after being struck by an out of control golf buggy while saving a donkey.
Katie Brock suffered multiple fractures from the impact of the cart as it hurtled down a hill at the Gold Coast's Warner Roadshow Studios,
The Courier Mail reported.
She was taken to hospital immediately as onlookers hailed the 54-year-old's actions as 'heroic' as she selflessly pushed the donkey out of the path of the unmanned cart.
Ms Brock suffered broken ribs and a chipped vertebrae in the collision as another Aquaman female crew member also suffered minor injuries.
Worksafe Queensland have begun an investigation into the accident.
It is believed the incident occurred on Wednesday morning on the set of Aquaman, a new blockbuster which stars Nicole Kidman as well as Amber Heard and Jason Momoa.
A spokesman for the Warner Bros studio confirmed the incident yet failed to elaborate further.
Ms Brock, originally from California, has worked on a range of movies training animals, including Peter Pan and Scooby Doo.
The accident comes after a number of troubles for the production team including Tweed Shire’s Greens Mayor Katie Milne attempting to halt their filming at environmentally sensitive Hastings Point on the Tweed Coast.
Filming in Queensland is expected to continue up until August as Kidman is due to join the set this month.
