UPDATE: A devastating road accident has claimed the life of 25-year-old motorbike influencer Karen Sofía Quiroz Ramírez, known as Bikegirl, after she fell beneath the wheels of a lorry in Colombia. The incident occurred earlier today when she lost control of her motorcycle while navigating between two vehicles on a highway.
Witnesses report that the tragedy unfolded shortly after Karen lost her glasses, crucial for her vision while riding. Just hours before the accident, she posted on social media expressing concern, stating, “I hope I don’t crash because I’m driving without my glasses.” Her chilling premonition has left her 45,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok in shock.
Authorities confirm that the collision involved a Chevrolet Spark before she was thrown under the lorry. Despite immediate medical attention from paramedics, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Local transport official Jahir Andres explained, “The most likely hypothesis for the accident is that the motorcyclist was travelling between two vehicles. This situation will be subject to an investigation.”
The investigation will include witness interviews and an analysis of CCTV footage to determine the exact cause of this tragic incident. As news of Karen’s death spreads, it raises concerns regarding motorbike safety and the risks faced by influencers who share their biking adventures.
In a separate but equally tragic incident, a motorcyclist named Lurrique Ferrari died during a stunt performance at the Hot Wheels Epic Show in Penha, Brazil. Dramatic footage shows him crashing after a jump, highlighting the dangers associated with extreme sports.
Last week, another motorcyclist, Christian Quezada, lost his life during a dangerous stunt called the Globe of Death in Naples, Italy. He fell off his bike in front of a horrified audience, escalating concerns about safety protocols in stunt performances.
As investigations continue into both incidents, the biking community mourns the loss of talented individuals while calling for increased safety measures. Authorities are urging motorcyclists to prioritize safety and adhere to regulations to prevent future tragedies.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story and the ongoing investigations into these heartbreaking accidents.
