As previously reported in THIS article, Milla Jovovich stunt double Olivia Jackson was badly injured on set of the Resident Evil: The Final Chapter last month during a shoot in South Africa. Details were scarce, but evidently the stuntwoman collided with a camera crane during a motorcycle stunt, with the resulting injury requiring she be put into a medically induced coma while she was under critical care.
A couple of weeks later, Olivia has come out of the coma and is on the mend. She has also detailed the true extent of her injuries.
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. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and beautiful messages. I’m sure it’s all helped pull me through this difficult time. Long road to recovery but just gonna take it day by day.
We’re glad to see that recovery is under way for Olivia. Here’s hoping there are no complications and that this long road ahead of her is a smooth one.
