A top Hollywood stuntwoman who’s appeared in such films as Guardians of the Galaxy, Mad Max: Fury Road and the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens is clinging to life following a horrific movie stunt gone wrong.
As reported in The Sun, 32-year-old Olivia Jackson was performing a high-speed motorcycle chase for Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in South Africa when she accidentally crashed into a metal camera arm.
Sources say she wasn’t wearing any protective gear during the accident, which took place on Saturday.
Since then, Jackson has been in a medically induced coma, suffering from head injuries and a punctured lung.
“It wasn’t a very dangerous stunt,”; a source tells The Sun. “She was riding a motorbike in a straight line but due to the scene she had no protective gear or helmet. There is a metal arm which carries the camera along. But it malfunctioned and didn’t lift up. It was totally out of her control. She had no chance. She is a lovely lady, the most generous person you could ever meet.”;
Jackson’s husband, stuntman David Grant, rushed from Malta to be by his wife’s side.
“She’s my inspiration and my world and one tuff little motherf*****,”; Grant shared on Facebook. “She’s fighting hard.”;
