One of two twin-sister influencers was killed when the car they were travelling in overturned on a motorway.

Tragic Lara Cleaver Afonso, 26, lost her life in the horror smash on the SP-322 state highway in the early hours of 23rd October.

The crash took place on a stretch of the highway between Guaraci and Olimpia in the south-eastern Brazilian state of Sao Paulo.

Lara and twin sister Dara had been staying at a rural property the night before and were en route to a photoshoot when the accident happened.

Civil Police said Lara was behind the wheel at the time and the twins’ cousin was also a passenger in the vehicle.

The cause of the accident is being investigated but police believe Lara fell asleep at the wheel ahead of a curve in the road.

The young woman was rescued and taken to a hospital in Olimpia, but she did not survive her injuries.

Dara was taken to the Hospital de Base (General Hospital) in Sao Jose do Rio Preto, where she underwent surgery.

She was still in hospital at the time of reporting.

The sisters’ cousin was treated for minor injuries and has already been discharged.

Lara and Dara were active on TikTok, where they shared snippets of their daily life. At the time of writing, they boasted more than 45,000 followers.

Lara was buried in Olimpia – where she lived with her family – on the morning of 24th October.

The case remains under investigation.
