Influencer dubbed ‘Russia’s most beautiful biker’ is killed in holiday road smash after her motorbike ploughed into a truck in Turkey

An influencer known as ‘Russia’s most beautiful biker’ died in a horrific traffic accident on the Turkish holiday after her motorcycle collided with a truck.

Russian Tatyana Ozolina, known to her eight million social media followers as MotoTanya, was driving between Mugla and the popular seaside resort of Bodrum before the accident occurred.

According to local reports, she died at the scene before emergency services arrived. She lost control of her red BMW motorcycle when it collided with a truck near Milas.

A Turkish motorcyclist who was accompanying her, Onur Obut, survived the ordeal but was seriously injured and is currently being treated in hospital.

According to reports, a third motorcyclist was on the scene and was unharmed.

According to local reports, Ozolina’s bicycle collided with a truck and the cyclist died on the spot.

MotoTanya had about eight million followers on social media across her platforms

Ozolina, who is reportedly 38 years old, is considered “the most beautiful biker in Russia” and has around five million followers on TikTok, two million on YouTube and another 973,000 on Instagram.

But she was recently denied entry into the European Union at the Greek border for a summer tour due to restrictions on Russians over Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.

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

She said: ‘I was angry that I couldn’t drive in Europe, but not too much because I knew this could happen.

‘So I move on, to conquer beautiful, warm and hospitable Turkey.’

In a tribute, Andrei Ivanov, president of the MotoMoscow Association, said: ‘MotoTanya is no more, she had a beautiful and sunny life, millions of people followed her.

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

‘She was adored, envied, admired, copied, crowned as a top blogger and at the same time discussed and vilified.

‘Now all that remains is her memory. Sleep well.’

Ozolina was riding her red BMW motorcycle between Mugla and the popular resort of Bodrum before the crash. Another motorcyclist survived but was seriously injured, while another was unharmed.
