Ryan Reynolds 'Heartbroken' After Stunt Driver Dies On 'Deadpool 2' Set
"Today, we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming Deadpool," Reynolds said on Twitter. "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." "I'm deeply saddened by the loss of one of our stunt performers today," 'Deadpool 2' director David Leitch said in his own statement. "No words can express how I and the rest of the Deadpool 2 crew feel about this tragedy. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and loves ones in this difficult time." The female stunt driver, who has been identified as pro motorcycle racer Joi 'SJ' Harris, died during the motorcycle stunt in Vancouver. It's reported that she wasn't wearing a helmet during the scene because her character does not wear a helmet.
