The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has upheld its fines against the producers of "Midnight Rider," the biopic about the life of musician Gregg Allman that shut down last year after a crew member was killed in a train accident.
Sarah Jones, a 27-year-old camera assistant, was killed and several others were injured last year when a freight train struck the crew as they were filming a scene on a trestle in rural Georgia. Authorities said producers did not have permission to film on the railway.
The federal agency in August fined Film Allman LLC $74,900 in connection with the accident, citing the company for one willful and one serious safety violation for exposing employees to hazards.
