WorkSafeBC is still investigating the death. A spokesperson for the regulatory agency told Postmedia News on Thursday that a final report into the 2017 accident hasn’t been completed.

In its initial report, released days after the accident, WorkSafeBC said the rider was rehearsing a stunt in which she rode a motorcycle out the open doors of a building, across a concrete pad and down a ramp that had been built over three stairs, coming to a stop on the stairs’ landing.

During the first shooting of the scene, Harris continued riding beyond the planned stopping spot and drove over a second ramp built over the bottom stairs and across the roadway.

“The motorcycle struck the concrete sidewalk curb, the worker was thrown off the motorcycle and propelled through a plate-glass window of a building,” the report said.

According to her website, Harris received her race licence in 2013 and began racing in 2014. She described herself as the first African-American woman to compete in an American Motorcyclist Association-sanctioned event.

The stunt, performed on a much more powerful motorcycle than those she raced on the track, was reportedly Harris’s first job in the movie industry.
