Earlier today we got the awful news that a stunt person had been killed after losing control of her motorcycle on the set of Deadpool 2, and now some more details on the situation have emerged.

Deadline has learned that the deceased was named Joi “SJ” Harris, who is billed as the first African-American female professional road racer. As we figured, she was doubling for Zazie Beetz' Domino character for the motorcycle sequence, which was actually her first official movie stunt.

Ryan Reynolds sent out the statement below in response to these tragic events:

@MeAreLegend - I'm sure they're gonna put a 'in memory of Joi' somewhere but with a movie like this it'd be pretty difficult.

I think after this and The Waking Dead stuntman death there's gonna be some type of new laws/regulations put in place... which is no bad thing. It's a no-brainer to just CGI some of the more dangerous stuff if it means less risk ti lives.

Does anyone know what actually happened, or what the stunt was supposed to be? Either way, rest in peace.
