Eddie Murphy's The Pickup set crash victims suffered back and skull fractures ... trends now
Crew members involved in a horror crash between two stunt vehicles on the set of Eddie Murphy-film The Pickup suffered back and skull fractures in the accident on April 20.
Eight people were hospitalized after the incident in Atlanta, Georgia, which saw an armored vehicle strike a car driving alongside it during filming of a stunt sequence.
The two vehicles then left the road and both flipped over, rolling several times. Two crew members who were seated in the back of the armored car were ejected when the car's back doors opened, sustaining life-threatening injuries.
Fundraisers have been launched to pay for medical bills for Dolly Grip Marvin Haven and special effects specialist Wayne Rowe who suffered injuries including multiple neck and back fractures, a head laceration and a skull fracture in the crash.
Haven is currently in the ICU with 'extensive bodily injuries' with a GoFundMe account raising more than $118,000.
