A former ‘Miss Europe-Kosovo’ titleholder died after plunging 50 feet from a bridge.
27-year-old beauty queen and influencer Guler Erdogan has been in her hometown of Giresun, Turkey, to celebrate Eid with her family before the deadly accident.
She had been caught drinking while driving by police after going to a nightclub with friends.
Police conducted a breathalyser test, which showed her blood alcohol level to be more than three times the legal limit – at which point Erdogan fled from police on foot.
Running towards an overpass and away from police, she soon lost balance and fell onto the six-lane motorway below, where she was run over by a car.
Erdogan was pronounced dead at the scene by police, who have since launched an investigation.
The hundreds of posts formerly on her Instagram have since been removed, and replaced with a statement from her family asking for sympathy.
‘Do not believe the false news and information regarding the death of our daughter, sister, and friend Güler Erdoğan,’ it reads.
‘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.’
Last autumn, a Russian influencer unwillingly filmed her own death while singing with a friend in Georgia.
Victim Arina Glazunova’s last moments were caught on the hard-to-watch footage filmed in Tbilisi, Georgia, as she sang and danced with her friends.
Arina is seen striding across a pavement singing along to the Russian boyband Hunger Boys’s hit ‘For The Last Time’ on 27th September.
As she skips across the pavement, Arina looks towards her pal’s phone camera without looking at where she’s going.
The clip shows her singing out the tune’s line: ‘No, I’m not waiting for you, but know that I loved for the last time, for the last time.’
As she repeats the phrase the phone turns back to her friend and her eyes widen in horror as she sees Arina disappear headfirst over the edge of the subway.
Arina’s screams can be heard in the video before the screen goes blank, and the panicked voices of her friends can be heard as the clip ends.
She was rushed to hospital but died from a broken neck.
