'Biker Girl’ Influencer Dead: Karen Sofia Quiroz Ramirez Was 25

Social media star Karen Sofía Quiroz Ramírez has reportedly died after a motorcycle crash. She was 25.

Ramírez’s motorcycle reportedly collided with a truck on a highway in Floridablanca, Colombia, on Wednesday, November 26, according to local newspaper Metrópoles. The outlet reported that Ramírez lost control of her bike, which subsequently collided laterally with a Chevrolet Spark. Ramírez was then reportedly run over by a truck also traveling along the highway.

Ramírez was pronounced dead on the scene, per local reports, and the incident is still under investigation.

“The most likely hypothesis for the accident is that the motorcyclist was traveling between two vehicles,” transport official Jahir Andres told the Daily Mail in a Saturday, November 29, statement, referring to what is often called “lane splitting.”

“This situation will be subject to an investigation,” Andres said. “The Prosecutor’s Office will proceed to clearly and precisely determine the cause of this fatal traffic accident. We will carry out the corresponding investigations, conduct the respective interviews with witnesses, and analyze the CCTV footage.”

Just hours before Ramírez’s death, she shared a social media message about her now-final ride.

“I’m hoping I don’t crash, because I’m riding without my glasses,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories, per Metrópoles.

Ramírez, best known as “Biker Girl Karen,” had more than 31,000 followers on Instagram at the time of her death. In her last upload on Wednesday, she was seen washing her black-and-pink motorcycle.

Fans have since shared their heartfelt condolences in the comments section.

“RIP beautiful women biker,” one Instagram user wrote. “I wish strength to her family members 🙏🏻.”
