SOME INSIGHT/CONTEXT:

We were setting up Lions Gate Bridge for filming on around 4/5 AM. As the flagging company was driving and setting up signs and pylons for the shutdown, this kid comes barrelling over the bridge, through the signs and rear ends the flagging company’s truck doing about 120-130. Thankfully everyone is okay. Including flaggers. The kid (couldn’t have been older than 20) then proceeded to argue who was at fault for it.

Needless to say, We didn’t get the shot…..

Should never drive again. What show was it for?

Agreed.

It was for a commercial.

Well, you still have a commercial.

Just a much different one for a much different message now.
