A 22-year-old Brazilian influencer died Thursday in a motorcycle accident while traveling the country, according to local outlets.
According to Brazilian newspaper O Tempo, Júlia Hennessy Cayuela died in the motorcycle accident in São José dos Pinhais, after captioning her final Instagram post, “Life is short, let’s be crazy. Me, you, God and the road! Your dreams are mine too.”
Her husband Daniel Cayuela was injured in the accident and was hospitalized during their trip through southern Brazil, as the pair were struck by a truck switching lanes, G1 reports.
Cayuela was prounced dead after being airlifted to a local hospital, while her husband has undergone two surgeries, according to O Tempo.
“We are desolate, in shock, a very difficult time,” her father Jerônimo Onofre told G1. “Julia was my daughter since she was 6. We are suffering.”
The couple had reportedly been married for four years, and Cayuela was studying biomedicine and wanted to open her own clinic. Family members had to inform Daniel about what happened to his wife, according to Onofre.
“Daniel is in shock, crying a lot, not believing what happened. They were very united and in love,” Onofre shared.
