Two actors from the TV series The Chosen Die in a Car Accident in Mexico

Two actors from the Netflix series The Chosen One were killed and six other cast or crew members were injured after the van they were traveling in crashed near Mulege on the Baja California Sur peninsula.

Local media reported that the accident occurred on Thursday and said the van overturned after leaving the road in a deserted area. The crew was apparently working in the area around Santa Rosalia at the time.

The Baja California Department of Culture said on Friday that Raymundo Garduño Cruz and Juan Francisco González Aguilar had died.

Netflix describes The Chosen One this way: “A 12-year-old boy discovers he is the returned Jesus Christ, destined to save humanity. Based on the comic book series by Mark Millar and Peter Gross.”

According to casting calls, the series is being shot by an independent production company.
