An influencer – who likened herself to Vin Diesel in ‘Fast & Furious’ – has been arrested after allegedly running a red light and killing a motorcyclist.
Felicitas ‘Feli’ Alvite, 20, handed herself over to the cops yesterday (2 May) after a judge issued an arrest warrant.
The court also rejected her lawyers’ appeals to be exempted from being held in a pre-trial detention centre.

She has been charged with homicide with possible intent after initially being accused of culpable homicide, which does not include intent.
Prosecutors requested a change when CCTV images appeared to show Alvite racing with a woman driving a Peugeot 208.
She is accused of jumping a red light before ramming biker Rubén Walter Armand, 35.
A police spokesperson said: “The motorcyclist hit his head against the tarmac and was taken to hospital where, after assisting him due to the serious injuries he suffered, he was confirmed dead.”
The fatal crash took place in the town of Tolosa, near Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 12 April.
The municipal council of La Plata shared a CCTV clip of the accident.
In the footage, Alvite appears to speed through a crossroad in a Volkswagen Gol Trend.
She slams into the motorcyclist and sends him flying through the air.
The biker apparently hits a tree before landing on the tarmac.
Rubén, who was riding a Bajaj Boxer motorcycle, was taken to hospital but doctors were unable to save his life.
Until recently, Alvite had a TikTok page with over 40,000 followers where she regularly posted about her love of fast cars.
She has taken down her account since the accident, as reported by Need to Know.
Followers took a screenshot of a photo posted just hours before the crash.
Alvite compared herself to Dominic Toretto, the lead character from the ‘Fast & Furious’ series, played by Vin Diesel.
She shared a racy snap of herself wearing black hot pants with the message: “Fear?
“Fear is going with me in the car because I’m a constant ‘person who likes to run’ and I play the Toretto.”
The investigation is ongoing.
