Production on what was to be the final day of on-location shooting for Michael Bay’s Transformers 3 in Chicago was halted after an extra was critically injured during shooting in Hammond, Indiana.
24-year old Gabriella Cedillo from Chicago was driving in a Nissan during filming when a cable broke and crashed through her windshield. She was hit in the head and taken to Loyola Medical Center per My Fox Chicago.
“The vehicle was being towed by another vehicle,” explained extra Blaine Baker to ABC Chicago. “The cable between the two vehicles broke. It whipped around and sliced through the woman’s car and sliced through her skull, apparently.”
Below are a couple videos from the Indiana shoot prior to the accident. There is no word on when Paramount and Bay will resume production of Transformers 3.
