On November 22, 2023, while filming on a set in Carlow Street, Camden, north London, Eugene Kyere-Diabour, acting as the driver of a 1990s Rolls Royce, accidentally accelerated instead of braking during a scene, striking cinematographer Matt Perren with the camera and pinning him under the vehicle. The incident caused severe injuries to Perren, including a broken collar bone and ribs. Kyere-Diabour did not have a valid driving licence, was uninsured, and drove without due care.
