A mum-of-one motorbike influencer tragically died in a horror crash witnessed by her father – who lost his life moments later.
Karla Thaynnara is believed to have lost control of her motorcycle on Tuesday morning (3 Mar).
She reportedly collided with a car, was thrown onto the road and then run over by a lorry travelling just behind her.

Among the police officers dispatched to the scene was her father, José Carlos Andrade Nogueira.
After seeing Karla lying on the tarmac, he allegedly took his own life in Brasília, Brazil, before colleagues were able to intervene.
At the time of writing, Karla had more than 56,000 followers on Instagram, where she shared snapshots of her daily life.
She frequently posted pictures on motorbikes, at the gym and with loved ones – including her father and her seven-year-old daughter.
Karla, 25, worked as a nurse and also as a consignment dealer at a local motorcycle dealership, as reported by Need To Know.
In August last year, she celebrated a major milestone – buying a flat for herself and her daughter.
She wrote at the time: “It’s more than just four walls and a roof – it’s proof that dreams really do come true when you refuse to give up on them.
“Those of you who’ve followed me for years will know it wasn’t easy. I was just 17, with a four-month-old baby in my arms. I didn’t have much, but I had determination – and a huge desire to build a better life.
“There were sleepless nights, tough days and tears no one saw. But there was also strength, resilience and faith. And none of this would have happened without my parents – their support and belief in me gave me the foundation I needed to keep going and make it.
“Now I’m standing here, holding the key to another milestone.”
Karla and her father are due to be laid to rest in Brasília today (4 Mar).
The circumstances surrounding the crash are under investigation.
