It continued:
My heart has been breaking the past two days and I have been searching what to say or do. I know that what I feel is nothing compared to what her loved ones, friends and family are feeling. My heart and my love goes out to her and them all.
The cast and crew send peace, healing and their deepest condolences.
Huffington Post reported that SJ had managed to ‘complete the motorcycle trick four times before she lost control of her bike on the fifth attempt’.
On her last attempt, the bike appeared to accelerate when it was supposed to slow down as she took a corner. It crashed through the class of a building on the plaza they were filming on. The stunt driver was not wearing a helmet at the time as the character does not wear one in the scene in question.
Production was shut down but has now resumed.
SJ’s passion for motorcycles was made very clear on her personal Instagram account.
