Shooting on U.S. sitcom 30 Rock was abruptly halted on Wednesday (19Nov08) after a taxi collided into the show's set - nearly killing a nine-year-old child.

Series creator/actress Tina Fey was present when the reckless vehicle drove onto the Long Island set, forcing the young boy to dive out of the way, according to reports.

The street was very narrow and there was nowhere for anyone to run, so we all just stood and watched in disbelief as it hurtled down the street and smashed into another car.

An extra tells New York gossip column Page Six, "The street was very narrow and there was nowhere for anyone to run, so we all just stood and watched in disbelief as it hurtled down the street and smashed into another car."

A spokesperson for Nbc Universal confirms: "Some actors were grazed by one of the cars involved. They were examined at a local hospital and released.".
