Racing Stunt In '#Fast&Furious7' Scrapped For Safety Reasons

A racing scene for the upcoming movie "Fast & Furious 7" was scrapped yesterday for being too dangerous. The scene was being shot at Willow Springs International Raceway, just 45 minutes from the scene of #PaulWalker’s fatal accident.

According to TMZ, stuntmen who are "authentic street racers"  were brought in for the scene which sees a yellow Chevelle racing another car and dramatically hits a wheelie bin, as bystanders cheer. But just before filming, #Universal suddenly cancelled the shoot.

A member of the production team told staff that it was cancelled because they couldn't get the correct insurance but other staff members said a second crash like the one that killed Paul Walker could jeopardize the entire franchise.

Some of the actors, such as #VinDiesel, where on the set when filming was scraped. Later that day, #MichelleRodriguez paid tribute to the late #PaulWalker when she shared a pic on Instagram which she captioned:

“Ride or Die through thick and thin 15 yrs later surreal to think we made it through such a tough painful production. But this ones for you P I hope we make you proud love you.”
