Filming of Transformers 3 was interupted yesterday because of a car accident on set. Now this wouldn’t be the first time a stunt driver caused damage on the set – that comes with the job description.
However this time the accident was caused by a Washington Police Officer responding to a call and decided to ignore the closed road figuring it to be the fastest route to his destination. Well the road was closed so they could film some of the Transformers driving, and shortly after the intrusive driver sidesteps Optimus Prime he meets Bumblebee, who’s driver was unable to stop and struck the Officer’s SUV.
And it was caught on video:
Bumblebee got right messed in the nose there. It was said that the officer was taken to a local hospital so I have to assume he received some injury. When he doesn’t get out of his car right away I wondered if that injury was to his pride after he realized he smashed a car on a Hollywood set.
