"Solberg commanded to the driver of the automobile in which plaintiff Scott McLean was a passenger, that the speed of his vehicle be increased significantly to a speed unsafe for the stunt, thus resulting in a major collision," McLean alleges in a complaint filed on Tuesday in California federal court.

The stunt double was reportedly airlifted to Australia and his rep says he'll have "likely permanent brain and physical injuries" including seizures, speech and physical impediments and brain trauma.
