South African stuntwoman Olivia Jackson has won a legal battle against a company involved in the making of “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter”.
She suffered life-changing injuries after being involved in a horrendous motorcycle crash on the set of the 2016 movie. During a complex shoot in Cape Town in 2015, Jackson, 36, was standing in as a stunt double for star Milla Jovovich for a scene in which Alice — the action/horror series’ main character — drives a motorcycle towards the camera at a very high speed.
While filming, the U.K.-based stunt actor collided head-on with the crane-mounted camera vehicle. The camera was supposed to move out of her way in time, however it did not, according to Variety.
