Alana Paiva, 21 (pictured) died from injuries she sustained a separate collision in October, which occurred in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil<\/p>\n

Local reports claim that Ms Paiva was on the back of her boyfriend’s bike at the time of the crash, which was said to have occurred on October 12<\/p>\n
Alana Paiva, 21, died from her injuries in hospital after a minibus driver allegedly smashed into her and her boyfriend and failed to stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Local reports claimed that Ms Paiva was on the back of her boyfriend’s bike at the time of the crash, which was said to have occurred on October 12.<\/p>\n
She was taken to hospital and put in an induced coma before she reportedly passed away ten days later.<\/p>\n
The minibus allegedly made an illegal turn at a junction, smashing into the pair head-on, causing the handlebars of the bike to come off.<\/p>\n
Ms Paiva’s boyfriend Uilblim, 43, was apparently lucid and able to talk to emergency services after the bus driver reportedly fled the scene.<\/p>\n
Tragically, he is also said to have died just hours after the horror crash in hospital. He is survived by an eight-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n
