Seven people were injured Saturday in a collision between a bus and several cars during the filming of G.I. Joe in the center of Prague, reports the AFP.

Video seen on the private Nova television channel showed the bus, and then other vehicles, being hit by an all-wheel-drive vehicle that appeared to have braking problems.

"It happened in a closed area that was rented out to the filmmakers for the weekend," said Prague police spokeswoman Eva Brozova.

Jirina Ernestova, spokeswoman for the emergency services, said the injured were treated in hospitals in the Czech capital.

"According to my information, there were only slight injuries," said David Minowski from the local production house Stilling Films.

G.I. Joe is scheduled for an August 7, 2009 release.

Good that not many of them were seriously injured.

Ow man, that sucks!
I hope all cast 'n crewmembers are OK and that the production isn't delayed too much.

It's sad, but fortunately there are no fatalities. This is the second car stunt related accident to happen in a week.

This wouldn't have happened if stunt professional Gary Hymes was coordinating it.
