Six other people, who have not been identified, were injured in the crash but the extent of their injuries is not known.
The crew had apparently been working in the nearby Santa Rosalia area at the time.
The Netflix series is described by the streaming platform as: “A 12-year-old boy learns he’s the returned Jesus Christ, destined to save humankind. Based on the comic book series by Mark Millar and Peter Gross.”
