Beauty Queen Dies In Car Crash After Falling Asleep While Driving

A beauty queen was killed in a tragic car accident after falling asleep at the wheel and colliding with another vehicle.

Ariana Viera, 26, of Florida, was scheduled to represent Venezuela at the Miss Latin America of the World 2023 pageant in the Dominican Republic in October.

According to her mother, Vivian Ochoa, she died as a result of her injuries after being engaged in a car accident in Orlando on July 13.

The victim’s mother alleges her daughter was tired and fell asleep behind the wheel before crashing into the vehicle in front of her.

The Venezuelan model was set to compete in a beauty pageant in New York City at the time of the disaster.

Ochoa said her daughter was revived twice by paramedics on the scene but died on the way to the hospital.

“They revived her, she had a heart attack, they revived her again and when they were going to take her to trauma care, she had nothing left,” she told local news outlet Telemundo 31 in a translated interview.

She added: “My girl fell asleep, she was tired.”

Ochoa went on to commend her daughter for always being there for others.

“She helped too many people,” she said. “She would stop everything to help you or listen to you. She was always there for her friends, her brothers, her mother.”

The beauty queen has a developing modelling career as well as her own cleaning company, Full House Cleaning.

According to local media, the victim’s father, who lives in Peru, attempted to arrange a visa in time for his daughter’s funeral on July 16, but the passport was allegedly issued one day too late.

Ariana previously released a video on her Instagram account on May 2 with the caption: “Filming myself for my future funeral because it’s always me in the videos, no one else does it.”

One follower commented: “I hadn’t seen this. Holy God. Predicting her future. How painful to see this.”

Another said: “Incredible how sometimes things are decreed.”

Someone else wrote: “Whenever I see this type of tragedy when the deceased posted a video about their death in the future, it almost always happens.”

While another commented: “You were so genuine, you always recharged me with the best energy.”
