Russell Crowe Clipped by Firetruck

Russell CroweA firetruck slammed into Russell Crowe's ride during a movie shoot in Pittsburgh yesterday -- problem is, it wasn't in the script.

Crowe and co-star Elizabeth Banks were shooting a scene inside a van, which was parked near a Pittsburgh fire station when a firetruck suddenly pulled out of a nearby station and banged into the front of the van, according to ABC 4.

There were no injuries -- except to the van. The front end was reportedly knocked off.

The movie vehicle containing Banks and Crowe was not blocking an emergency entrance. It was parked where it was supposed to be for filming, by arrangement ... the fire truck driver has expressed it's embarrassment for the crash.

I'm glad no one was hurt.

hopefully you are right macca. id hate to see a film crew out of arrogance or ignorance block the path of an active fire station. could also have been a screw up by whoever said it was ok to film there. why would you want to film next to an active fire station, where a fire truck could come out blazing with its siren during filming?

It was on the local Pittsburgh news and radio as soon as it happened.

They pretty much said the same, he didn't get hit, just was a bit scared and that he "refused medical attention..", when offered.

Is it me or am I the only one who thinks it's funny how much people cater to celebrities? Half the time it's not even these celebrities who think they are a gift to the world, but it's the fans who kiss famous ass to a point where it sickening.
