Details of the incident:
According to Christina, the 35-year-old actress was hit by a motorcycle at high speed, which was being used to set up cameras during filming. The incident resulted in several serious injuries: a fractured femur, tibia, hip, pelvis, thumb and a deep gash on her head.
"I was hit by a motorcycle that had cameras on it. It hit me on my right side and I fell to the ground. I started screaming to get the attention of the paramedics," Kristina Stanovich said.
