A motorbike influencer has died in a violent road collision in Brazil, moments before her father, a police officer who attended the scene, also lost his life.
Karla Thaynnara, 25, is understood to have lost control of her motorcycle on Tuesday morning (March 3), striking a car before being thrown into the carriageway, where she was hit by a lorry travelling behind her. Among the officers dispatched to the incident was her father, José Carlos Andrade Nogueira. On discovering his daughter lying on the road, he is reported to have taken his own life before colleagues could intervene.

In August last year, she celebrated a major milestone – buying a flat for herself and her daughter.
