Bus Crashes On The Set Of Sandra Bullock’s New Movie, Injures 11 People
A 60-foot-long MBTA bus collided with a parked movie production truck on the set of Sandra Bullock's latest flick, "The Heat." About 20 people were reported to have been onboard at the time of the crash. According to MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo, 14 people, including the bus driver complained of neck and back pain. At least 11 people were later treated at the hospital for their injuries.
The incident occurred in close proximity to the Roxbury Municipal courthouse on Warren Avenue at around 9:30 a.m., Boston.com reported.
"When I heard that sound, I just wanted to get out as fast as possible because I was worried about an explosion," said Charles Gordon, 55, who sustained minor knee injuries during the crash.
"People were screaming and they were everywhere on the bus," he explained regarding the scene after the accident.
According to Steve MacDonald, a spokesman for the Boston Fire Department, none of the victims sustained life-threatening injuries. He also mentioned that the MBTA Transit Police were investigating the cause of the accident.
Bullock is no stranger to on-set accidents. While shooting the romantic comedy, "The Proposal," back in 2008, the funny actress and her ex-husband, Jesse James, were involved in a drunk driving collision.
Bullock was not injured during the unfortunate crash.
