The motorcycle stunt driver who died in a tragic accident on the Vancouver set of Deadpool 2 has been identified as Joi 'SJ' Harris.
Eye witness reports say Harris was killed when the motorcycle she was riding for a stunt crashed through a window of the Shaw Tower near Jack Poole Plaza on Canada Place Way.
According to her website, Harris, originally from New York, was the first African American woman to actively compete in American Motorcyclist Association road racing events.
“Today, we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming Deadpool,” the film’s star, Ryan Reynolds tweeted. “We’re heartbroken, shocked and devastated… but recognize nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment. My heart pours out to them — along with each and every person she touched in this world.”
