Eddie Murphy’s The Pickup set crash saw two stunt vehicles collide and roll off the road – with eight people hospitalized after some were ‘ejected’ from the cars

More details have emerged after a terrifying crash on the set of Eddie Murphy’s new film The Pickup on Saturday, which left eight people hospitalized after a stunt went terribly wrong.

Filming on the production, which also stars Keke Palmer, has been halted following the crash in which an armored vehicle collided with a car driving next to it during filming in Atlanta, Georgia.

The two vehicles then left the road and both rolled over, flipping several times – seen in harrowing footage of the crash obtained by TMZ.

First responders took eight people to hospitals after the crash, the Georgia State Patrol confirmed People.

Two crew members sitting in the back of the armored car were thrown when the car’s rear doors opened, sustaining life-threatening injuries.

A third rear passenger also suffered serious injuries, although they were not ejected from the vehicle, according to GSP.

Five people were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta for treatment and another three were taken to WellStar Cobb Medical Center in Austell, Georgia, for treatment.

According to NYT, one is still in the hospital with a back injury.

The accident occurred during a “second unit action sequence” that had been rehearsed earlier, an Amazon spokesperson said.

“Unfortunately, the sequence did not go as planned and several crew members were injured,” the spokesperson said.

“We are still gathering facts about what happened and why, but first and foremost our thoughts are with those who are recovering.”

“The well-being of the entire crew and cast is our number one priority, and we will continue to adhere to the highest industry standards for safety throughout filming. All safety measures have been assessed and checked prior to the shoot.’

“It was a completely freak accident,” an anonymous source told the AP, adding that the stunt performed was not considered particularly dangerous.

The injuries “ranged from bumps and bruises to broken bones.”
