An actress and model has died after she was run over by a speeding vehicle while she was fixing her car on a motorway hard shoulder.

Kamylla Cristina Rosa de Oliveira, 22, stopped on the hard shoulder of the GO-217 motorway in Piracanjuba, in the Brazilian state of Goias, on 13th February.

Goias Military Police said that Kamylla was accompanied by two other friends when the driver noticed something wrong with one of the front wheels.

They stopped and after they climbed out and checked discovered that some of the bolts holding it in place were missing.

It is unclear if somebody had tried to steal the wheel and been disturbed after removing some of the bolts, or whether they had simply come loose and fallen off.

Either way, Kamylla started to fix the wheel but was hit by another vehicle while she was repairing the problem.

She died at the scene.

The driver of the vehicle who was reportedly speeding did not stop and drove away.

Kamylla’s friends could not provide details to police about the vehicle that hit Kamylla and only said it was a vehicle that was travelling in the same direction as them.

Kamylla’s friend Laura Teixeira, said on social media: “We FINISHED organizing our processes for our long-awaited agency.

“Friend, did I say enough that I loved you? My God, what pain I’m feeling.

And another friend said: ” Whenever I remember you, I will remember your joy and light.

“Now you will make the angels happy, rest in beautiful peace and may God comfort the whole family.”

The investigation is ongoing.
