LONDON -- A stuntman who wowed crowds with his portrayal of James Bond during the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony has been killed in a wing-diving accident.

Mark Sutton, 42, crashed into a mountain ridge in the Swiss Alps, near Martigny, which is close to the French border.

Swiss police said that one of two wing-divers who jumped out of a helicopter at a height of more than 10,000 feet hit the ridge on Wednesday morning.

"He was part of a group of about 20 other comrades in Chamonix which are regarded to be among the best in the world," police said in a statement.
