THE fiancée of the Fast & Furious stuntman who fell 30ft during an on-set accident has spoken of her “shattered heart” as he lies in a coma.
Daredevil Joe Watts remains in intensive care after landing on his head in front of the film’s star Vin Diesel, 52.
It is thought a safety cable snapped as he leapt off a balcony during a stunt at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, Herts, on Monday.
Partner Tilly Powell, 27, who is also a stunt pro, said: “Joe has suffered a serious head injury and is in an induced coma.
“He is stable and is being monitored closely throughout the night.
‘MY HEART IS SHATTERED’
“I love him so much and my heart is shattered. He has all his family and friends by his side to get him through this.”
Joe has also worked on Game of Thrones, Jurassic World and Kingsmen: The Golden Circle.
All production on Fast & Furious 9 was halted immediately after the accident and the crew sent home.
It is not known if filming has restarted.
The Health and Safety Executive has confirmed it is investigating his fall.
‘BLINKING BACK TEARS’
Shocked star Diesel was said to have choked back tears after witnessing the plunge. A source told The Sun: “He looked ashen, totally in shock and blinking back tears. He saw what happened.”
Diesel has had several brushes with tragedy in the past. His stunt double Harry O’Connor was killed filming a para-sailing scene for 2002 action flick xXx.
