Joi “SJ” Harris, who billed herself as the first African-American female road racer, died while performing a motorcycle stunt in Vancouver, Canada, PEOPLE confirmed.

The Brooklyn, New York native was an advocate for women of color in the road racing game, and promoted herself as “the first licensed African American women in U.S. history to actively compete in sanctioned motorcycle road racing events.”

On Friday, Harris updated her Facebook with a selfie, writing, “EVERYTHING FOR A REASON. #staythecourse.”


Harris is thought to be the stunt double for Zazie Beetz. A woman donning the costume for the mutant Domino, whom Beetz plays in the film, was spotted on a black Ducati motorcycle in the area for a sequence days earlier.

“Today, we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming Deadpool,” the film’s star, Ryan Reynolds tweeted. “We’re heartbroken, shocked and devastated… but recognize nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment. My heart pours out to them — along with each and every person she touched in this world.”


“I’m deeply saddened by the loss of one of our stunt performers today,” Deadpool 2 director David Leitch said in a statement to PEOPLE. “No words can express how I and the rest of the Deadpool 2 crew feel about this tragedy. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and loves ones in this difficult time.”
This was Harris’s first film as a stunt performer, according to Deadline, 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 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 windowat Shaw Tower. She was reportedly treated by ambulance personnel but police said she died at the scene.

According to Metro News, the stunt driver narrowly missed hitting two pedestrians when she lost control of the bike.


An eyewitness told the outlet that the stunt driver completed several rehearsals of the stunt, which involved driving a motorcycle down two ramps across several stairs, earlier that morning.

“She came out, went down the two flights of stairs, and it looked like she kind of hit the throttle because she picked up speed,” Nathan Kramchynski told Metro News.

“She was going full throttle,” he added, noting that it appeared as if the driver “missed two pedestrians” during the failed stunt.

CTV News reported that the lights and sirens of the ambulance were not turned on as it pulled away with the stuntwoman on board.

Everything is fine...please who is this?

really nothing to bother tho, i got bored and wandered into the diary section and was reading the diaries with the most gigantic views, so i happened to stumble across yours and found it quite captivating i must say, this may be as regards the fact that i'm also a lawyer tho i'm in 400 level, i school in port-harcourt, so i could relate quite spastically with the academic escapades.
That being said, pardon me but, i guess i'm still in the clouds as to several things that actualised in the later part me your life.
1. What's up with francistony, u guys were really close early into the thread but all that withered later on.
2. Also, earlier you where in with marieolae but that also hit the wall at some point, sorry tho just curious
Lastly, why the fúck did you stop writing the diary, you cant imagine how unhappy i was realising that you last updated that baby around april.
Your life is a really interesting one and you managed to exterminate boredom in my life for about two days or so, cuz i'm also on holidays. Kudos tho.

sorry for the epistle champ hasta lavista.
PS. we've net before in hardon's dating drills thread, were you promised to share your own experience.

Hmmm...where do I start from now?

I and Francis were close alright but a few things happened which led to our separation. I don't know if I can explain all that here. We still follow each other on Instagram tho.

Yea and marie broke up after a while of dating. Nothing serious, just usual relationship clashes.

Thanks for following up my diary. I appreciate.

I may begin to update it again, I just need the zeal and nairaland is not really my thing again.
