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."

[cressydrift]

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?

[i-vtecyo]

Why the tarp...

Probably because they dont want people taking pictures of a wrecked bumble bee :(

[Kamui712]

Is that a 458 Italia behind the Camaro? :O

[RRxtar]

they should put it in the movie if they got a good shot of it

[danizer]

why is there a ferrari?
isnt transformers GM sponsored? lol!

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

poor Bumblebee

[Harvey Specter]

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.

[Santofu]

why is there a ferrari?
isnt transformers GM sponsored? lol!

Ferrari is the newest autobot.

[rexsomnii]

what if the cop wasnt there... wheres bumblebee gonna go , on the sidewalk ? :S

[Santofu]

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

[satek]

They probably have 5 more bumblebees in the back.

[InvisibleSoul]

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?

[Solo_D33A]

hhhmmmm... no ABS....

[danizer]

Ferrari is the newest autobot.

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

[JSALES]

they should put that in the movie haha

[Vale46Rossi]

Ouch

[cococly]

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 :)

[Kingcong89]

I can't imagine he really had to go to the hospital for that. I guess if he hit his head on the window really hard.

[wobuffet]

they should put that in the movie haha

they probably will in the DVD/bluray extra features/bloopers

[Drift_Monkey]

Atleast the Ferarri didn't get a single scratch

[Zyzz]

the publicity this incident gained is probably worth more than the camaro itself.

[goo3]

it's a shame you autobots die so easily

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Probably wasn't his head. Most likely his donut belly.

[Dragon-88]

Wonder how the K-9 is doing.

[thumper]

is transformers 3 jinxed? this is the second big accident in filming this movie... 1-2 months back an extra driving her own car was injured when a tow cable snapped and hit her :(

[optiblue]

MEDIC!!! Aren't cops supposed to stop and check for safety at red light intersections?

[twitchyzero]

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 :)

[boostfever]

they have +150 million USD budget for these movies. wtf are you talking about.

[TRD Rs200]

[Zulu]

Huge budget + the demand for product placement = infinite supply of cars to smash
