Deadpool 2 star Ryan Reynolds and director David Leitch led a moment of silence on the film91Ƶs set Wednesday to honour the stuntwoman killed in a crash during production earlier this week.

Filming for the Marvel Comics superhero film resumed 48 hours after Joi (SJ) Harris died on the set in downtown Vancouver on Monday.

A grainy video posted on TMZ91Ƶs website Wednesday showed a group, identified as the 91ƵDeadpool 291Ƶ crew and Vancouver-born Reynolds, bowing their heads in a moment of silence.

Witnesses said Harris appeared to lose control of her motorcycle while filming outside the Vancouver Convention Centre and crashed through a ground floor window of a nearby office building.

The BC Coroners Service said she died at the scene.

The 40-year-old New York resident described herself on her website as the 91Ƶfirst licensed African-American woman in U.S. history to actively compete in (American Motorcyclist Association) sanctioned, motorcycle road racing events.91Ƶ

Her friends described her as a pioneering motorcycle road racer who lived her life to the fullest.

91ƵShe was fearless and relentless in her pursuit of her dream, to ride as a motorsports professional,91Ƶ said a statement posted on Harris91Ƶs Facebook page Tuesday.

91ƵShe was living her dream, when her life was suddenly cut short while filming as a stunt rider. She will be dearly missed by her race fans all over the world.91Ƶ
