Very true.

This confirms it :-

"A crew member working on The Dark Knight was killed Monday during the making of the Bat-sequel. The name of the deceased has not been released, but he has been identified as a camera operator.

According to The BBC, the accident happened off-set at a test track in Longcross in Surrey. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) informed the press that the accident occurred during a "filming production exercise."

The technician was riding in a camera vehicle, said to be a 4x4, that was following the Batmobile during a stunt test run. A statement from Warner Bros. said: "There was a fatal accident at a special effects facility for Batman: The Dark Knight. A technician on the film died when the truck he was in struck a tree following a test run. Warner Bros Pictures and the entire cast and crew of The Dark Knight are deeply saddened by this tragedy, and their hearts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of the deceased."
