Brazilian social media influencer Alana Alves da Silva, popularly known as Vampira 085, died on August 8, 2026, following a deadly head-on collision on the BR-251 highway in Salinas, Minas Gerais.
The 28-year-old influencer was travelling in a Fiat Cronos that reportedly fled from a Federal Highway Police checkpoint while carrying approximately 137 kilograms of narcotics. The vehicle failed to stop and sped for around six miles before attempting to overtake four cars simultaneously, resulting in a catastrophic crash with a black GM Astra.
Seven people lost their lives in the accident, including Alana, the Fiat's driver Pedro Yan Linhares Gutierrez (24), and passenger Ramon Silverio Nogueira (19). A fourth passenger in the Fiat, a 20-year-old woman, survived but sustained serious injuries and was hospitalized.
All four occupants of the GM Astra, identified as Argemiro Machado da Silva (79), Valmir Machado da Silva (76), Alcides Silva Santos (77), and Gilmar Bispo dos Santos (46), died at the scene. They were residents of Ruy Barbosa municipality in Bahia state.
