In a report for The Sun, Cristina Stanovici shared the gruesome details of her injuries during the shoot, including allegedly being left for nearly an hour without proper medical help, and the healing process that took three days in the ICU and 17 months, from which she still feels pain.

“To hear the anesthesiologist say ‘we had our fingers crossed for you’ really sends a chill down your spine. The surgeon told me it was one of the worst cases he has seen in his eight years at the hospital,” the extra said.

“They had a motorcycle with cameras on top of it that was filming. It hit me from the right side and I went flying in the air. I started screaming to get the attention of the paramedics as I remembered seeing an ambulance on site in the previous days. I lay there for almost an hour while they checked me and stabilized me. Unfortunately, I didn’t lose my consciousness. The memory will forever traumatize me. I broke a lot of bones. My femur, my tibia plateau, my pubic bone, a lot of non-displaced fractures in the pelvis, a broken thumb, and laceration to the head,” she continued.

“They did the femur surgery after approximately 10 hours. It lasted more than five hours, I had five blood transfusions and I almost died. I have a rod in my femur that goes from hip to knee. I was supposed to have two incisions, top and bottom but due to severe swelling they had to cut my whole leg to relieve the pressure. I went through what I hope to be the hardest times of my life alone. Even after 17 months, my leg still hurts and is weak. Not to mention it’s deformed, which adds to my trauma. This leg will need another one or two surgeries, but it will never be the same again. The recovery was and is horrendous. I am still in pain every single day, every single step. People might think it’s just a broken leg. No. It’s a tragedy, your body is wrecked and your mind follows. Many people, including me, who go through this think it would have been easier if they had died. I think conditions should be improved on movie sets. Especially now because Glasgow is chosen more and more as a city to film in, and obviously they use extras from Glasgow. They should be thinking about them. I went there to have some fun, to see how it is, what making a movie involves. And look what happened.”

It is not yet know how much money Cristina is seeking in the suit.
