The filming of 'Fast And Furious 8' has taken its toll on the Horse, who has been killed by a fake flying iceberg during the shooting.

According to Local police, a horse, named Jupiter went down like the Titanic near the film set in Iceland after gale force winds sent a fake iceberg flying into a paddock where the animal was grazing, TMZ reports.

It is being said that the strong winds sent a portion of a plastic iceberg, a set piece for the movie, flying and it struck the horse, breaking its leg. Another horse was also injured but is likely to recover soon.

However, as per sources, the production house has assured the horse owner that he would get the cost of the horse and fence repair from insurance.

The 'Fast and Furious' film is being filmed for eight weeks at Mývatn.
