The police officer involved in the collision was headed to investigate a suspicious package report, authorities said, when the accident took place at 3:30 pm ET at Third Street and Maryland Avenue NW in the nation's capital. The officer was taken via ambulance to the hospital, while the driver of the Camaro was unharmed.
The officer was treated at the hospital and released.
Monday's incident marks the second major accident during production of the film, as extra Gabriela Cedillo suffered brain damage and partial paralysis when she was hit in the head by a flying metal cable September 1 while filming in Hammond, Indiana.
Cedillo's family last week filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures, citing negligence in connection with her accident.
