There was a little unscripted drama in the sequel to "Carmageddon" on a Los Angeles freeway.
Watch this -- a big chunk of a bridge under demolition fell unexpectedly during the work on Saturday.
Officials at the site say a few construction workers got out of the way just in time, but no one was hurt.
It's part of a major project that has closed a ten-mile stretch of the busy 405 freeway connecting Los Angeles to the San Fernando Valley.
Crew managers say work is going as scheduled and the freeway should open on time tomorrow morning as Californians head back to work.
