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."
YES!!!! FUCK BUMBLE BEE!!!! What a dumb accident. The other videos that Lancerion posted did not have a good angle but why where they all rippin it? Who forgot to operate the radio to notice police where coming? WTF?
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.
what if the cop wasnt there... wheres bumblebee gonna go , on the sidewalk ? :S
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?
