NCIS

Joe use to work next to the NCIS studio...he saw Abby walking down the street one day and I use to train the same time that Tony DiNozzo - real name Micheal Weatherly. Unfortnely one of there guards died this week. It looks like it crossed over into another parking lot - I wonder if it was Joe's???

A Reseda man died Wednesday after he was struck by a van in the Valencia Industrial Center while working on a film shoot for the CBS television drama “NCIS."

A 60-year-old Pasadena man lost control of the 2006 Ford van he was driving when he reportedly blacked out about 10 a.m. Wednesday and struck Julio Garcia, said Sgt. Darren Harris of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

After striking Garcia, the van continued on the 24800 block of Avenue Rockefeller and collided with two parked cars.

Paramedics from the Los Angeles County Fire Department treated Garcia at the scene of the crash before he was transported to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital in critical condition, according to a sheriff’s statement.

Garcia, of Reseda, died at the hospital as a result of his injuries. The Associated Press reported that he was a security guard on set.

The driver of the Ford van was not arrested, said Sgt. Mike Konechy of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. An investigation was opened, but Konechy said he did not expect charges to be filed.

Production of NCIS has been suspended as a result of the crash, officials from CBS Entertainment and CBS Television Studios said in a statement.

“We are, of course, cooperating with the local authorities in Santa Clarita to help determine what caused this terrible accident,” officials said in the statement.

“Everyone at the network, the studio and NCIS is devastated by the news. Our hearts grieve for his family and friends for this tragic loss.”

NCIS is a TV drama that follows fictional United States Navy officials who investigate criminal cases of military misconduct.

Wednesday’s fatal collision marks the second time in less than a week that a television crew member has been injured during a film shoot.

A stunt woman was hospitalized after she was injured at Santa Clarita Studios on the set of the FX show “Justified.”

Officials from the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health said this week that the agency is still determining the cause of that accident.
