Extra critically injured on `Transformers 3’ set

MAYWOOD, ILL. (AP) - Indiana State Police say a movie extra has been critically injured on the production set of “Transformers 3.”

Spokeswoman Sgt. Ann Wojas said Thursday that Gabriella Cedillo is in critical condition, according to a family member.

Authorities say the “Transformers 3” crew was filming a stunt late Wednesday in Hammond, Ind., when an object flew through the windshield of the vehicle that 24-year-old Cedillo was inside and hit her.

She was taken to Loyola Medical Center in the Chicago suburb of Maywood.

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

A hospital official says she has no information about Cedillo.
