Mother Of Black Panther Stuntman Opens Up About What Happened The Night Of The Crash That Claimed Four Lives

Letitia Wright, Taraja Ramsess and other actors in Black Panther.

Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s inception, many have praised the lead stars for their talents on the big screen – and rightfully so. However, it’s easy to forget that they’re also supported by a host of skilled stunt actors. One such person was Taraja Ramsess, who was tragically killed alongside three of his kids in a car accident weeks ago. Several notable celebrities have since spoken out, paying tribute to the Black Panther alum and showing love to his family. Now, his mother is opening up about what happened on the night of the crash. 

The accident occurred on the night of October 31 and, at the time, 41-year-old Taraja Ramsess was driving in a pickup truck with his ex-wife and five kids in Georgia. The stuntman was apparently taking them home after a night of trick-or-treating, when his vehicle collided with a tractor-trailer that had broken down on the highway. In addition to Ramsess, three of his kids –  Sundari (13), Kisasi (10) and Fujibo (8 weeks) also lost their lives. Akili-Casundria Ramsess opened up about the loss of her son and grandchildren while speaking with WSB-TV, during which she called the tragic turn of events “very surreal.” The proud mother and grandmother said that on that evening, the group had a “car full of candy” when they were making their way home.
