Olivia Jackson, one of the stunt doubles on the forthcoming ‘Resident Evil’ movie, 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter’, is to have her arm amputated after a motorbike stunt on-set went horribly wrong.
The 34-year-old South African-born stuntwoman, who also appeared in 'Star Wars: The Force
Awakens’, spent two weeks in a medically-induced coma after she hit a metal camera arm while filming in South Africa in September.
“My left arm is paralysed and is going to have to be amputated,” she told The Sun.
“My facial scarring is horrible and I wish I had my old face. But I’m truly grateful to be alive.”
In October, she revealed the extent of her horrific injuries, including having lost a thumb.
“2 weeks in a coma, brain bleed, brain swelling, severed main artery in the neck, crushed & degloved face, several broken ribs, paralyzed arm, shattered scapula, broken clavicle, broken humerus, broken radius & ulna, with an open wound and a 7.5 piece of bone missing, amputated thumb, torn fingers, 5 nerves torn out of the spinal cord…. not my funnest day on set,” she wrote in a Facebook post.
