A EUROPEAN beauty queen has died after tragically plunging from a bridge onto a motorway while fleeing from police.

The “Miss Europe-Kosovo” title holder had been on a night out in her hometown to celebrate Eid with her family, and later hit a nightclub with friends.
She allegedly tried to drive home while drunk, but ran into police at a checkpoint, according to CNN Turkey.
A breathalyser test recorded a blood alcohol level of 1.70mg/100ml – more than three times the legal limit.
Realising she was in trouble, Güler fled the car on foot and tried to escape in the direction of an overpass.
She lost her balance and plummeted over the edge onto the six-lane motorway below.
Tragically, an oncoming car was unable to break in time and the young model was caught beneath its wheels.
Emergency services rushed to the underpass but pronounced Güler dead at the scene.
Turkish police have launched an investigation into sequence of events leading up to the accident.
Güler was a well-known as after claiming the European beauty pageant crown, and also had deals with several major brands as a model.
Her untimely death has shocked fans and colleagues in the business.
All of her posts have been removed from Instagram and replaced with a single statement from her family.
It reads: “Do not believe the false news and information regarding the death of our daughter, sister, and friend Güler Erdoğan.
“Our sister lost her life as a result of a tragic accident. As her family, we were by her side at the time of the incident.”

Another model died in a tragic accidental fall in Bali in January 2020.
Courtney Mills, 37, from Australia, was visiting her two dogs on the island when she fell from a balcony at her hotel in Kuta, a beach resort on the south coast.
The Melbourne DJ sustained critical injuries and was rushed to hospital to undergo emergency surgery before she sadly died surrounded by her family two days later.
Courtney’s older sister Kiana and mum Diane flew out to the Indonesian island to be by her side in the final moments.
In an Instagram post, Kiana said her sister had been placed on life support and underwent multiple operations, but tragically could not be saved from her grave injuries.
Kiana said: “It is with such a heavy heart that we share the news of Courtney’s passing.”
