Global News reports that the female victim lost control of the motorcycle she was riding while filming a sequence for the movie shortly after 8am, causing her to ram the bike into the glass-enclosed lobby of the Shaw Tower in Vancouver.
Paramedics quickly arrived at the waterfront office building in the British Columbia city and were able to pull the woman from the wreckage and get her to the hospital, but her injuries were to severe.
Audio from the 911 call made after the crash reveals that the woman was not moving following the crash, with one man stating she flew across the street and remianed airborne' as she went through the glass.
The rescue vehicle was on site for 45 minutes after loading in the victim and drove off without using its sirens according to CTV Vancouver. 'VPD officers are at the scene, along with officers from WorkSafeBC. More information will be released when it is available.'
WokeSafeBC, who has five workers investigating the crash, also released a statement on Monday.
'WorkSafeBC was contacted by the Vancouver Police Department this morning at 8:31 a.m. regarding a serious incident in the 1000 Block of West Waterfront Road, Van B.C. WorkSafeBC has five officers at the incident site,' said the agency.
'Two officers are inspecting the site for immediate occupational health and safety issues. Three officers are investigating the incident for cause and prevention under the Workers’ Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.'
Eyewitnesses to the horrific tragedy claimed that they did not hear the motorcycle break before the crash.
'People were running on the sidewalk, the motorcycle comes flying across the street, looks like from a ramp because it was in the air,' said one individual.
'[The victim was] standing on the bike, slams into that building, clearly hit and out-of-control and clearly not planned.'
That person then added: 'It was so out-of-control, it looked like an accident.'
Another witness said they watched as the bike went 'out-of-control,' saying it then 'flew right into the building.'
Sharmina Kermalli said she had just walked into a Starbucks next door to where the accident happened when she heard a loud crash. She ran out of the coffee shop and saw glass still falling on the body of the woman. 'VPD officers are at the scene, along with officers from WorkSafeBC. More information will be released when it is available.'
