A MAN working on a film partly shot in Selby and York was seriously injured when he apparently fell from the back of a lorry after a night out.

It is understood the 27-year-old was working on Bill, a Horrible Histories film about William Shakespeare when he fell off the Iveco truck at about 3.20am on March 9, near Leyburn.

He was taken to James Cook Hospital.

The truck driver, 29, was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink, and released on bail.
