A popular motorcycle influencer known for her daring social media posts has died following a catastrophic traffic collision. Karen Sofia Quiroz Ramirez, who built an online persona as "Bikergirl," passed away on November 26 after losing control of her motorcycle.
Details of the Fatal Collision
The fatal incident occurred as the 25-year-old content creator attempted to pass two vehicles. According to reports from the Floridablanca Transit Authority cited by local newspaper Vanguardia, Ramirez slammed into a car and was thrown from her motorcycle. She was then tragically run over by the rear wheels of a tractor-trailer.
Witnesses rushed to the scene and paramedics provided emergency care, but Ramirez was pronounced dead at the location. Jahir Andrés Castellanos Prada, Floridablanca’s director of transit, confirmed that the Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation. Authorities will analyze security footage, interview witnesses, and determine if any drivers were at fault.
Chilling Social Media Post Preceded Tragedy
In a haunting twist, Ramirez made a foreboding social media post mere hours before the crash. As reported by Metropoles via TMZ, she wrote, "I’m hoping I don’t crash, because I’m riding without my glasses."
Ramirez had amassed a significant following, with over 90,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok. Her content frequently featured her riding her motorcycle, often while wearing minimal clothing such as a bra and leggings, which contributed to her "Bikergirl" brand.
Online Tributes and Final Farewell
Her final Instagram post showed her washing her motorcycle, humorously captioned: "Here I am watering my Gixxer so it grows and becomes a GSX750." Following news of her death, the comment section flooded with tributes from heartbroken fans and followers.
Messages expressed condolences to her family and friends, with many writing "May she rest in peace" and "May God have you in his holy glory." Funeral services for Karen Sofia Quiroz Ramirez were held over the weekend in Bucaramanga, Colombia.
The death of "Bikergirl" is a stark reminder of the risks associated with extreme social media content and high-risk activities. It has sparked conversations online about safety and the pressures faced by digital creators to produce daring content for their audiences.
