Just more proof that Tina Fey is possibly some kind of superwoman...or at the very least a good luck charm.

NBC confirms that there was a car crash Wednesday night on the set of 30 Rock that sent a few actors to the hospital.

"An automobile accident occurred Wednesday night while filming a scene in Long Island City," NBC tells us. "Some actors were grazed by one of the cars involved. They were examined at a local hospital and released."

According to the New York Post, the accident "nearly killed a 9-year-old boy." However, our sources tell a different story...

"It was scary, accidents always are, but it honestly wasn't that big of a deal," says a source familiar with the situation. "The actors involved were just a little shaken and had a few minor scrapes and bruises."

We're told that a taxi veered up onto the sidewalk, causing the actors, including Tina Fey and a 9-year-old actor, to dart out of the way. The taxi crashed into another car which was not an NBC vehicle.

The EMTs suggested a few of the actors head to the hospital as a precaution. According to sources, everyone involved is fine, but the shoot was canceled for the night.

Meanwhile, despite how that promo photo below may look, that wacky Tracy Jordan was not behind the crash this time.
