OSHA Cites Production Company after Crew Member Dies During Filming of Gregg Allman Biopic
On Feb. 20, camera assistant Sarah Jones was killed and eight other workers were injured while trying to escape an oncoming freight train during the filming of a scene for “Midnight Rider,” a biopic based on Allman’s life.
The production company filming the movie biography of musician Gregg Allman is facing $74,900 in OSHA fines for safety violations that allegedly led to the death of a 27-year-old crew member.
OSHA cited Film Allman LLC of Pasadena, Calif., for one willful violation and one serious safety violation, alleging that the company exposed crew members to struck-by and fall hazards.
