An influencer dubbed 'Russia's most beautiful biker' was killed in a horrific holiday road smash after her motorbike ploughed into a truck in Turkey.

Russian Tatyana Ozolina - known by her eight million social media followers at MotoTanya - was riding between Mugla and the popular resort of Bodrum before the crash occurred.

Local reports have said she died at the scene before paramedics arrived after 'losing control' of her red BMW motorbike when it collided with a truck near Milas.

A Turkish biker accompanying her, Onur Obut survived the ordeal but suffered serious injuries and is currently receiving medical treatment in hospital. 

Reports have stated that a third biker at the scene was left uninjured.

MotoTanya had around eight million social media followers across her platforms 

Believed to be 38-years-old, Ozolina had been dubbed Russia's 'most beautiful biker' and had around five million followers on TikTok, two million on YouTube, and a further 973,000 on Instagram.

But she was recently refused entry in to the European Union at the Greek border for a summer tour amid curbs on Russians over Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine.

Her final posts on her social media platforms was a short clip from the Greek-Turkish border.

She said: 'I was upset that I didn't get to ride in Europe, but not too much, because I knew that this could happen.

'So I go on, to conquer the beautiful, warm and hospitable Turkey.'

In a tribute, Andrei Ivanov, head of the MotoMoscow Association, said: 'MotoTanya is not with us anymore, she had a bright and beautiful life, millions of people followed her.

'Perhaps there is not a single motorcyclist in the country who was indifferent to Tatyana.

'She was adored, envied, admired, copied, awarded as a top blogger and, at the same time, discussed and slandered.

'Now all that remains is her memory. Sleep well.'
