A fitness influencer has tragically died in a motorbike crash just hours after posting a final selfie on a night out.
Larissa da Silva Machado, 30, shared the snap while dressed up in a black dress during an evening with friends – not knowing it would be her last.
Just hours later, at around 5:30am, she was killed in a devastating crash.
The social media star is believed to have lost control of her Honda CG 160 Titan on the lower ramp of a viaduct before smashing into a retaining wall.
She was thrown several metres from the bike and suffered fatal head injuries.
Her friends, who were travelling in a car behind her, witnessed the horror crash unfold in Manaus, Brazil, on Friday (27 March), as reported by Need To Know.
In a heartbreaking moment, one of them phoned Larissa’s mum – who rushed to the scene in shock.
The distraught mother had to be restrained by police as she ran towards her daughter’s body.
She cried out: “Let me see my daughter, let me go, I want to see my daughter.”
Emergency crews rushed to the scene, but Larissa could not be saved.
Her motorbike was completely destroyed by the force of the impact.
Authorities later confirmed she died from a traumatic brain injury.
Police have since cordoned off the area and launched an investigation into the fatal crash.
Officers are analysing CCTV footage to piece together exactly what happened in the moments leading up to the tragedy.
At the time of her death, Larissa had built a following of around 20,000 on Instagram, where she shared fitness tips and healthy lifestyle content.
She was also a passionate supporter of Corinthians football club.
Tributes are expected to pour in as friends, family and fans come to terms with the devastating loss.
