An investigation into an April accident on the set of Eddie Murphy's upcoming movie The Pickup found the production did not violate any safety regulations.
On Thursday, Oct. 24, a spokesperson for the Occupational Health and Safety Administration told PEOPLE its investigation of the incident and inspection, which concluded Oct. 17, “did not result in violations of workplace safety and health regulations."
A spokesperson for Amazon MGM Studios declined to comment.
“We appreciate the work done by OSHA’s Atlanta team to investigate this unfortunate accident," IATSE, the union that represents film crew employees, tells PEOPLE in a statement Oct. 24. "IATSE members are the best in the industry and work hard to ensure their safety and the safety of those around them. This incident is a reminder that all workers deserve to earn a living in a safe environment.”
Back in April, a spokesperson for Amazon MGM Studios told PEOPLE "several members of the crew" were injured in an April 20 on-set accident, while the Associated Press reported at the time that no cast members, including Murphy, 63, were present on set at the time of the incident.
Days later, the Georgia State Patrol confirmed to PEOPLE that first responders took eight people to hospitals after a two-vehicle crash on the movie's set while the production filmed an action sequence.

The crash occurred between an armored GMC car and a BMW vehicle as the production filmed a stunt sequence, per the GSP. The New York Times published footage of the collision April 26 showing both vehicles flipping over and veering off a road after the collision.
GSP told PEOPLE at the time two crew members who were seated in the back of the armored car were ejected when its back doors opened, and they sustained life-threatening injuries. Five people were taken to Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital and three more were taken to WellStar Cobb Medical Center in Austell, Georgia, for treatment.

The studio told PEOPLE in an April statement that "all safety precautions were reviewed prior to and monitored during the shoot.”
A source on the movie's production told PEOPLE at the time that they "choked up watching the video" of the incident. "It's so traumatizing," they said. "To know my friends who I consider family are being thrown around the back of the armored truck, it's just so infuriating. It shouldn't have happened."
The Pickup also stars Pete Davidson, Keke Palmer, Andrew Dice Clay, Eva Longoria, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Jack Kesy and Marshawn Lynch. The movie does not yet have a release date.
