Video footage of an accident on the set of the Eddie Murphy film The pick-up was published today by the New York Times.

Cellphone video of the April 20 crash shows an SUV and an armored truck colliding, then flipping after leaving the road. The New York Times obtained the images and shared them on Wednesday. Two people were hospitalized and several others were injured.

In the video published by the Times, an armored truck parks next to an SUV and then swerves into it. The action sent both vehicles off the road and into the grass. The armored truck then rolls over the SUV, with both vehicles completely flipping over before landing upright. The video ends with a person’s body hanging limply from the door of the armored truck.

The exact cause of the accident has not been revealed, although reports indicate that the truck was supposed to collide with the SUV as part of a stunt sequence. OSHA and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees are investigating.
