Olivia Jackson continues to recover after a horrible motorcycle stunt accident.
Earlier this year, 34-year-old stuntwoman Olivia Jackson was severely injured during the filming of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
Jackson, stunt double for Milla Jovovich, was placed into a medically induced coma for two weeks after her motorcycle accidentally collided with a camera crane for a stunt. Injuries she subsequently endured include cerebral trauma, a crushed face, a severed artery in her neck, several broken ribs, a paralyzed arm, a shattered scapula, a broken clavicle, and five nerves torn out of her spinal cord.
Jackson is recovering from her injuries, but her left arm will have to be removed.
She recently told The Sun (via Yahoo) that her left arm is paralyzed, and will need to be amputated.

Besides Resident Evil, Jackson has done stunt work for a number of big films, including Guardians of the Galaxy, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich has commented on the matter, saying:
“All of us here have been praying every single day for her and her family and sending our thoughts out hoping some of the positive energy reaches her, because she truly needs it.”
The Final Chapter recently completed filming, and will release on January 27, 2017.
If you would like to help support Jackson’s recovery, a GoFundMe page has been created by her stunt double friends.
