Deadline Hollywood is shedding light on some alarming developments in the recent stunt accident that occurred during East Chicago/Indiana filming for Transformers 3. Movie extra Gabriela Cedillo is in critical condition after a stunt accident went awry on a highway scene for the Michael Bay film. "Cedillo's Toyota was being towed by a second vehicle and the steel cable between the two vehicles broke, then whipped around, and sliced through the woman's car and cut her head" and even worse that "a similar tow-rig setup broke the day before." So this stunt rig malfunctioned the day before and the production still went ahead with trying it again? And trying it with movie extras--who are not trained stunt personnel?

Deadline's source: "An extra doing stunts in her own car with a tow rig? Holy shit is somebody's head gonna roll over this one. SO many things against industry standards, don't know where to start! Bay should be starting to sweat right about now. 30yrs of motion pictures and never seen stunts fuck up this bad."
