She tragically died in an ambulance on the way to hospital after suffering several cardiac arrests.
The 57-year-old driver reportedly walked away from the scene in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil, unscathed before fleeing on foot.
Police later found him in a nearby mangrove area in an apparently inebriated state, as reported by Need To Know.
A police spokesperson said: “Locals reported that the driver of the vehicle, the perpetrator of the incident, exited the car and headed towards the banks of the Camboriú River.
“He was located by the police in a mangrove area, showing clear signs of intoxication, such as slurred speech, difficulty walking, the smell of alcohol, and disorientation.
“No apparent injuries were found.”
The relationship between the driver and Aline is still unknown.
He has been arrested and currently faces charges of manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol.
A spokesperson for Aline’s sports company, Celd Esportes, said: “In this moment of pain and dismay, we express our most sincere condolences to all Aline’s family, friends, and colleagues.
“Aline was a person of great value, whose dedication and spirit will be forever missed by our team and the entire community that knew her.”
As well as running a large sports complex in the city with her two brothers, Aline was a life coach with thousands of online followers.
In her final social media post, she reflected on the year ahead, pinning her dream on a Wish Tree with the message: “2026 starts now.”
She wrote: “Thank you 2025 for showing me that: sensitivity isn’t weakness, it’s power; taking care of myself is the greatest act of love; overcoming adversity has become routine; I don’t need to fit in to be complete; freedom is something I won’t deny myself; not everyone can keep up with my pace.”
