Resident Evil Stuntwoman Injured on the Set During Motorcycle Crash
Olivia Jackson, a veteran stuntwoman who has appeared in such films as Mad Max: Fury Road, was injured on the set of the upcoming sequel Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. According to reports, Jackson was on a motorcycle when she crashed into a mechanical arm holding a camera. The folks over at The Sun explain that she suffered head injuries and a punctured lung.
Since the stunt reportedly wasn’t very dangerous, Jackson didn’t wear any protective gear. The Sun states that the mechanical arm holding the camera malfunctioned while shooting the scene, and the accident “was totally out of her control.” The Daily Caller reports she’s currently in a coma.
To let everyone know about her condition and to thank all of the fans for their support, Jackson’s husband, David Grant, left a very heartfelt message on Facebook.
I want to say on behalf of Olivia’s family and myself we’ve been inundated with messages of support for My girl and we are all truly touched. It’s goes to show what a special girl she is not just to me but to everyone! I’m sorry for not getting in touch and replying to all the messages in this tough time but I want you all to know that she has been making steady progress and your thoughts and good vibes are all working so please keep them up! She’s my inspiration and my world and one tuff little mother fucker ! She’s fighting hard and the team of people working on Olive have been amazing and have been doing some incredible work. Thanks again to everybody! I whisper to her everyday telling her about the support she’s getting world wide!
Everyone at Dread Central wishes Olivia Jackson a speedy recovering. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, meanwhile, is presently slated to hit theaters on January 27, 2017.
