Our thoughts are with her family, friends and loves ones in this difficult time.” The female stunt driver, who has been [identified as pro motorcycle racer Joi “SJ” Harris](http://people.com/movies/stuntwoman-killed-deadpool-2-motorcycle-crash-identified-joi-sj-harris/), died during a motorcycle stunt, PEOPLE confirmed. Officers responded to the scene of the accident earlier in the day, along with officers from WorkSafeBC. Harris is thought to be the stunt double for Zazie Beetz.

This was Harris’s first film as a stunt performer, according to [_Deadline_](http://deadline.com/2017/08/deadpool-2-stunt-driver-killed-on-set-vancouver-1202148277/), which reported that she was not wearing a helmet during the scene because her character does not wear a helmet. “We are deeply saddened by the accident that occurred on the set of _Deadpool 2_ this morning,” 20th Century Fox said in a statement. “Our hearts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues of our crew member during this difficult time.” The [_Vancouver Sun_](http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/deadpool-2-stunt-person-injured-after-motorcycle-crashes-into-shaw-tower) reported that the accident occurred just after 8 a.m. on Monday. Witnesses told the outlet that the stuntwoman lost control of her bike during a stunt, jumped a curb and crashed through a plate-glass window at Shaw Tower. She was reportedly treated by ambulance personnel but police said she died at the scene.

[_CTV News_](https://twitter.com/CTVVancouver) reported that the lights and sirens of the ambulance were not turned on as it pulled away with the stuntwoman onboard. > [](https://twitter.com/CTVNewsBen/status/897125497179488256) > [](https://twitter.com/CTVNewsBen/status/897132586266316800) Reynolds, who’s reprising his role as Deadpool in the sequel, [tweeted](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/895049716269850624) a photo with members of the Vancouver Police Department last week, jokingly thanking them for their support in filming _Spider-Man_. > [](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/895049716269850624) Just last month, John Bernecker, a stuntman on [_The Walking Dead_](http://people.com/tag/the-walking-dead/), died after sustaining “serious injuries” on the AMC drama’s Georgia set.
