A British stuntwoman by the name of Olivia Jackson has been hospitalized and placed into an induced coma following an accident on the set of the upcoming Resident Evil: The Final Chapter movie.
Jackson, who worked on this year's Mad Max: Fury Road and last year's Guardians of the Galaxy, was not wearing protective gear when she crashed into the metal arm of a malfunctioning camera. "It wasn't a very dangerous stunt," a source told 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 suffered a punctured lung and head injuries when the accident took place on Saturday. Here's to a speedy recovery and busting out of the hospital into to watch her own work in Star Wars: The Force Awakens this December.
