During filming for The Pickup, an Amazon MGM Studios production starring Eddie Murphy, a car and a truck collided, resulting in injuries to several crew members, two of whom required hospitalization. 

According to the studio, the incident occurred during a scene rehearsal in Georgia, and all safety measures were reportedly in place.

None of the lead actors like Murphy, Keke Palmer, or Pete Davison were involved in the accident. 

Injuries included minor bumps and bruises to more severe cases like broken bones. Two crew members were transported to the hospital, with one still there as of Tuesday. Fortunately, all are expected to fully recover.

The collision occurred just outside of Atlanta when a truck malfunctioned and struck a car.

“It was a completely freak accident,” stated a bystander. “It wasn’t even a complicated or dangerous stunt.”  

This particular scene was being filmed by a secondary unit, typically tasked with shooting less crucial scenes that do not require the main director or lead actors.

The movie is helmed by Tim Story, known for directing films like Barbershop (2002) and Fantastic Four (2005). Production has been ongoing in Georgia since February 20th. Although there’s no confirmed release date yet, the incident is not anticipated to cause any scheduling delays.
