Karen Sofia Quiroz Ramirez — a rising Colombian influencer celebrated for her motorcycle lifestyle content — has died at age 25 following a tragic road accident in Floridablanca, Colombia.
Local outlet Metrópoles reports that Quiroz, known online as Bikegirl, lost control of her Suzuki Gixxer before colliding with a vehicle. Moments later, she was struck by a tractor-trailer, resulting in fatal injuries.
According to transport official Jahir Andrés, early investigations suggest the crash occurred while the influencer was riding between two vehicles — a maneuver commonly known as lane splitting. The Floridablanca Traffic Department stated that Quiroz attempted to pass between a Chevrolet Spark and a truck when she fell to the left side of her motorcycle and was run over by the truck’s rear wheels. Bystanders tried to assist her, but she died at the scene.
Authorities have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident.
