Another Transformers 3 car crash

Bumblebee, the Camaro Autobot, which was being used in a chase scene, crashed into a police car during filming of Transformers 3 in Washington D.C. Bumblebee’s front end crumpled, and although the police SUV didn’t seem to be damaged, the officer who was driving sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital. A statement from a police spokesperson reads: “The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the crash and filming of this movie on closed D.C. city streets has been suspended until safety procedures can be reviewed.” It’s the second car crash involving injuries to occur during filming of the third Transformers movie — extra Gabriela Cedillo was airlifted to hospital in the Chicago area with permanent injuries during a car stunt that went wrong on the final day of shooting in that location.
