2 killed on PCH in Malibu crash

.

MALIBU >> Two drivers were killed Friday in a head-on crash between a pickup truck and a minivan on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu that also left a passenger and a bicyclist injured.

Paramedics sent to PCH at Trancas Canyon Road at 12:07 p.m. pronounced the two men dead at the scene, according to Sgt. Shawn Ruda of the sheriff’s Malibu-Lost Hills Station. Their names were withheld, pending notification of their relatives.

A passenger in the pickup truck was injured and airlifted to a hospital. That person was in stable condition, the sheriff’s department reported.

A bicyclist who was struck by a wheel from the pickup was also taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries described as minor, according to the sheriff’s department.

The crash forced the closure of all southbound and one northbound lane of PCH and a SigAlert was issued, according to the California Highway Patrol.

All lanes were reopened by 5:55 p.m., the CHP reported.

“Preliminary investigation at the scene indicates the driver of the gray Mercury minivan was traveling westbound on Pacific Coast Highway at a high rate of speed and attempted to pass another vehicle,” Deputy Dangelo Robinson of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau said.

“In doing so, the driver lost control of the minivan and crossed over the center divider colliding head-on with the red Dodge Ram truck.”

Double Trouble! – The Stunt Doubles Behind our Favorite Action Stars

.

Big action stars like The Rock and Arnold Schwarzenegger make it seem like there’s nothing they can’t do. We constantly see them jumping off buildings and getting hit by cars, but they’re not really the ones doing the heavy lifting. Whenever things get too dangerous for them to handle, their stunt doubles are ready to step in and do the dirty work.

Hollywood studios would never put the lives of their big stars on the line, and that’s why most of them have someone to help them out when the going gets tough. Body doubles often look like carbon copies of the actors they work with, but with one minor difference – they are more athletic and prepared to rush into danger every single day. Let’s take a look at some of the unsung heroes who helped bring the most iconic action scenes in history to life.

The Rock and Tanoai Reed

When Tanoai Reed ended his career as a professional football player, he hoped the biggest physical challenges of his life were finally behind him. It became clear he was wrong when his cousin Dwayne Johnson asked him to do his stunts for The Scorpion King. Reed said “Yes”, hoping it’s a one-time thing, but The Rock transformed into one of Hollywood’s biggest action stars in the years to come. His cousin Reed kept coming back to help him out, but admitted that jumping off buildings and getting hit by cars isn’t a painless task, and that it’s taking serious toll on his body.
