Top Hollywood stuntwoman, Olivia Jackson, who worked on hit movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as well as, Guardians of the Galaxy and Mad Max: Fury Road, will have her arm amputated following an on-set accident while filming Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
The native South Africa, 34, was left in a coma after she suffered a life-threatening accident on the set in her home country when the motorbike she was operating crashed in September.
Jackson’s bike hit a metal camera arm and was put in a medically-induced coma for two weeks. According to Yahoo Jackson told The Sun, “My left arm is paralysed and is going to have to be amputated. My facial scarring is horrible and I wish I had my old face. But I’m truly grateful to be alive.” After the horrific accident Jackson revealed her extensive injuries in a Facebook status listing “brain bleed, brain swelling” and an amputated thumb as just some of the injuries. “…Not my funnest day on set,” she wrote. h/t complex
Milla Jovovich, the star of Resident Evil, called Jackson surviving the accident “a miracle.” “All of us here have been praying every single day for her and her family and sending our thoughts out hoping some of the positive energy reaches her, because she truly needs it,” said Jovovich.
