According to two people with direct knowledge of the situation who were not authorized to speak publicly about it, at least a half-dozen people who were inside the vehicles sustained injuries and were transported to a hospital. One person remained hospitalized on Wednesday with a back injury, those people said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They said that none of the actors in the film, which features Eddie Murphy, Keke Palmer and Pete Davidson, were involved in the crash. An OSHA <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/ords\/imis\/establishment.inspection_detail?id=1742670.015\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">inspection report<\/a> said it occurred at a small airport outside Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Video of the crash that was obtained by The New York Times shows an armored truck pulling up alongside an S.U.V. before swerving into it. After the collision, both vehicles veer off the road in tandem and drive onto grass, where the armored truck flips on top of the S.U.V.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both vehicles completely roll over and end up upright but mangled. As a back door of the armored truck swings open, one person inside can be seen lying limp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The video is a cellphone recording of a monitor playing back the footage of the crash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Amazon MGM Studios said in a statement that all safety precautions were reviewed before the action sequence and monitored during its filming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cUnfortunately, the sequence did not go as planned and several members of the crew were injured as a result,\u201d the studio said. \u201cWe are still in the process of gathering facts on what happened and why, but first and foremost our thoughts are with those who are recovering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The two people with knowledge of the episode said they believed that the vehicles were supposed to hit each other, but that the S.U.V. was supposed to pull away and fall back behind the armored truck. It was not immediately clear whether a vehicle malfunctioned or human error was involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both people also said there was no ambulance on site to immediately tend to the victims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A separate person with knowledge of the production, who was granted anonymity to discuss details about the crash, said emergency workers and police officers were there. An ambulance was called, but there were differing accounts of how long it took to arrive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Experts said it was fairly standard practice to have an ambulance on standby for potentially dangerous stunts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Sean Miller, a spokesman for the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which represents the crew members involved, said it was aware of the crash and had started an inquiry. Eric Lucero, a spokesman for the Labor Department, said that OSHA had \u201cinitiated an investigation\u201d but declined to provide additional information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokesman for the sheriff\u2019s office of Douglas County, Ga., where the crash occurred, did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dutch Merrick, a longtime prop master who lives in California, said that with such limited information it was hard to determine what, if anything, went wrong. But he said that the movie industry generally took \u201cvery careful precautions for these kinds of rigs and stunts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThat\u2019s what makes this an anomaly,\u201d he said. \u201cWe do this literally every day in Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/24\/arts\/the-pickup-accident-video.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A two-vehicle crash that injured several crew members on the set of the movie &ldquo;The Pickup&rdquo; is being investigated by the Occupational<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/entertainment\/video-shows-crash-that-injured-crew-members-of-the-pickup\/24\/04\/2024\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27366,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27364"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
