Multiple crew members on The Pickup set injured after accident

An accident occurred on the set of Eddie Murphy's upcoming heist-comedy film The Pickup causing injuries to several crew members. The incident happened while they were shooting in the set of Amazon MGM Studios in Georgia on Saturday, April 20.

According to an Amazon MGM Studios spokesperson, the incident happened during an action sequence that was already rehearsed. “Unfortunately, the sequence did not go as planned and several members of the crew were injured as a result,” the spokesperson said. “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."  The incident occurred due to a truck locking up and hitting another vehicle which led to a car crash. Two people were hospitalised and the casualties' injuries ranged from bruises to broken bones. As a result of the accident, filming for the second-unit production was temporarily halted 

The Pickup's director and producer Tim Story and the stars Eddie Murphy, Keke Palmer and Pete Davidson were not present on the sets during the accident. The film also stars Andrew Dice Clay, Eva Longoria, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Jack Kesy and Marshawn Lynch. Producers include John Davis and John Fox for Davis Entertainment, Murphy and Charisse Hewitt-Webster for Eddie Murphy Productions and Story for The Story Company. The film is penned by Matt Mider and Kevin. Executive producers are Davis Entertainment’s Jeremy Stein, The Story Company’s Vicky Mara Story, Burrows, Ross Fanger, and Mider. 

Details regarding the plot have been kept under wraps for now.
