hope she is ok and recovers!!!

Funny how the TFW2005 thumbnail of the story includes an explosion and iirc it was unknown why she was injured. Well judging by that photo TFW2005 used maybe they're suggesting she got hit with a Bay-explosion lol

On a serious note I hope she does recover though.

Yeah, bad choice of accompanied image imo. It sounds pretty bad, the metal cable keeping the cars in tow broke, whipped around and penetrated her car and then skull. What a horrible thing to happen when you think you're just getting somewhere with your movie career, then BOOM! If she does recover fully though, this will be press coverage she never would have got without the accident, and potentially boost her career.

This is shocking news and I hope she make a speedy recovery. Can't say I'm surprised though that someone would injure themselves on the set of a Michael Bay film. I hope that if this is through negligence that she is well compensated.

And I thought it was painful watching the last film!

Transformers 3 extra in coma after accident

INDIANA State Police say a movie extra was critically injured on the production set of a blockbuster sequel.

Spokeswoman Sergeant Ann Wojas said Gabriella Cedillo was in a critical condition, according to a family member in Chicago.

On Wednesday, she was driving her car through a scene of Transformers 3, filming in Hammond, Indiana, when a stunt for the scene went horribly wrong, MyFoxChicago.com said.

Witnesses said a cable snapped, whipping through her windshield and hitting her in the head. She is recovering from brain surgery at Loyola Medical Centre.

Neighbours said Ms Cedillo was excited to be working on the movie.

"It was a blessing to know she was going to be a part of it," Nate Smith told the TV station. "But then to find out she was part of the unfortunate accident, it set you back a few steps. ... Nothing you can do but sit and pray."

The last day of filming in Chicago had been scheduled for Thursday, but it was called off because of the accident.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with Gabriela, her family and loved ones," the film production said in a written statement. "We are looking into what caused the accident."

State workplace investigators in Indiana also are looking into the accident.

Police say Ms Cedillo was an extra, not a stunt professional.

A hospital official said she had no information about Ms Cedillo.

Someone is going to get sued...

How did they get 'coma' out of the content of the article, they say she is recovering in the report but they didn't mention that she fell into a coma?

Someone is going to get sued...

Yep!

So the filmmakers have been cleared of any wrong doing (then why was an extra doing a 'stunt'?)

But the girl will never regain the use of the left side of her body

Recovering, no, I dont think she will.
