'30 Rock' car crash delays filming

A car accident on the set of NBC's 30 Rock led to several actors being sent to hospital.

The incident happened last Wednesday while the Tina Fey/Alec Baldwin comedy was filming in Long Island City.

Despite early reports suggesting that a nine-year-old boy was almost killed in the crash, sources told E! Online that the seriousness of the accident had been blown out of proportion.

"It was scary, accidents always are, but it honestly wasn't that big of a deal," the insider revealed. "The actors involved were just a little shaken and had a few minor scrapes and bruises."

An NBC spokesperson confirmed the incident, saying: "Some actors were grazed by one of the cars involved. They were examined at a local hospital and released."

Wednesday's filming was cancelled while the actors were treated for their injuries.
