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 veteran bomb technician. He was taken to a local hospital and sustained minor injuries.

 

Sources tell FOX 5 that he was running to a call to 9th and F Street and was apparently 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 at .55 where they come out and cover up Bumble Bee :) What are they trying to hide? Should the film crew even be touching the scene of the accident like that ? Weird. FWIW, the Camaro held up pretty good. Looks like it did it's job protecting the cabin.
