Several Crew Members Injured on the Georgia Set of Eddie Murphy’s Movie ‘The Pickup’

Several crew members have been injured on the set of Eddie Murphy’s upcoming movie The Pickup.

“Unfortunately, the sequence did not go as planned and several members of the crew were injured as a result. We 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,” an Amazon MGM studios spokesperson told The Associated Press on Tuesday, April 23. “The well-being of the entire crew and cast is our first priority, and we will continue to insist on the highest industry standards of safety while filming. All safety precautions were reviewed prior to and monitored during the shoot.”

According to the outlet, the incident took place on a set outside of Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, April 20, and occurred when a truck locked up and hit a car. An unnamed crew member close to the situation told AP that it was a “completely freak accident” during what was not considered a “complicated or dangerous stunt.”
