It’s the second crash this week involving the film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” The most recent happened about 3:28 AM Wednesday in Times Square.

The SUV’s driver told reporters she tried to avoid hitting a taxi cab and instead struck a parked car. Both vehicles jumped the curb where some crew members were sitting under a marquee. It’s unclear how many crew members were among the injured.
