Bumblebee accidentally nailed the marked DC Police SUV of a bomb technician.

Quote:

WASHINGTON - A D.C. Police SUV was involved in a wreck at the filming of "Transformers 3" in Washington D.C.

While the movie was filming a car chase scene on 3rd Street and Maryland Ave in southwest D.C., the police SUV collides with a yellow Chevy Camaro, which in the movie series is known as the character Bumblebee.

The police SUV was not supposed to be there and the wreck itself was not scripted.

The police officer driving the SUV is a 25-year veteran senior explosive ordinance technician. He was taken to a local hospital and sustained minor injuries.

Law enforcement sources tell FOX 5 that he was driving to a call for a suspicious package incident nearby and was using a different radio channel than the police officers who were securing the perimeter for the movie.

Statement from the Metropolitan Police Department:

"Earlier today, a MPD marked cruiser responding to an emergency assignment, collided with a vehicle involved in the filming of a movie at Third Street and Maryland Avenue, SW. The officer sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital. No civilian injuries have been reported.

The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the facts of the crash and filming of this movie on closed DC city streets has been suspended until safety procedures can be reviewed."

LOL, i like how the cop comes speeding down the street like no big deal even though they had movie trailers parked on the side and most likely had cops blocking the streets.

Ferrari is the newest autobot.

No, it looks like the bumblebee and red rod (ferrari) were trying to catch up and following the autobot crew?

They probably have 5 more bumblebees in the back.

Is it really not obvious that he was turning left to follow in behind the pack, but when the driver saw the unexpected police vehicle coming, he straightened up and slammed on the brakes?

hhhmmmm... no ABS....

that is waay awesome!
gonna watch the second one just so i know whats going on in the third one :thumbsup:

they should put that in the movie haha

It is good that the 458 was not hurt, because I don't think the movie producer could really have a couple more 458 as spares for the movie :)
