Joi 'SJ' Harris, first African-American female road racer, dies on set of 'Deadpool 2'

Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter yesterday to send condolences to the family of  Joi 'SJ' Harris who died while filming Deadpool 2.

The Brooklyn native was the first “the first licensed African American women in U.S. history to actively compete in sanctioned motorcycle road racing events," according to People.

A witness at the scene said, "She lost control really quickly. It happened in a split second. She was going full throttle and then there's a building there."

According to TMZ, she was not wearing a helmet and the brakes were never applied, which led to massive head injuries after she was launched through the air into a sheet of glass. Harris died on scene.

British Columbia Coroner's Service and WorkSafeBC is currently investigating the accident.

This was Harris' first film as a stunt driver. She was portraying Domino character in Deadpool 2, who is being played by actress Zazie Beetz.
