Alison had been crowned Miss Teocaltiche 2025 just eight days earlier, on 30 October.
During the pageant, she expressed her love for her hometown, as reported by NeedToKnow.
She also said: “Today I want to tell you that true beauty isn’t measured by crowns or dresses, but by the ability to look at others with respect and love.”
Alison was studying Psychology and Education at the Centro Universitario de los Altos, part of the University of Guadalajara, and was described by local media as a dedicated student.
Her university said, “We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.”
Authorities in Teocaltiche also paid tribute: “She didn’t just captivate with her beauty – she also proved to be an outstanding young woman with strong values.
“Her legacy leaves an enduring mark of joy, kindness and dedication, making her a true source of pride.”
Although Alison was not very active on social media, she had more than 5,000 followers on Instagram.
Her last post, shared on Thursday (6 Nov), showed her wearing a black hat and a brown top.
The exact cause of the crash on Mexico’s Jalostotitlán-Teocaltiche highway has not yet been determined.
The Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation to establish what happened.
