Influencer Dies After Vehicle Reportedly Plunges Over 164 Feet in Car Crash

Ivonne Enriquez Ramirez, a popular Mexican content creator known online as “Dulce Enriquez,” died on Jan. 19, 10 days after she was involved in an automobile accident. She was 20.

“With deeply broken hearts, we share the painful passing of my beloved little sister Sweet Ivonne Enriquez Ramirez,” wrote the influencer’s sister, Michel, in an emotional Jan. 19 post on Facebook. “As a family, this moment breaks our souls.”

Ramirez maintained a following of over 122,000 on Instagram, where she shared lifestyle content from Mexico.

According to Milenio, a Mexican newspaper, Enriquez was traveling at around 8 a.m. on Jan. 9 from a celebration of the town’s 487th anniversary with the mayor of the southern Mexican town Santa María Huatulco, Julio César Cárdenas Ortega, when their vehicle overturned. 20 Minutos, a Spanish newspaper, reported that the vehicle fell into a ravine that was approximately 164 feet deep.

Shortly after the accident, Ortega released a public statement, informing his constituents that he had been involved in an accident but was “stable and out of danger.”

On Jan. 10, the day after the accident, Michel shared in a post on Facebook that her sister was “alive and under medical care,” dispelling false reports that she had died in the accident. “We deeply appreciate the prayers, support and solidarity, and ask the community to report only through official family channels,” she wrote in another post that day.

In her Jan. 19 post sharing the news of her sister’s death, Michel described the “immense pain” she felt, adding that the feeling was “difficult to describe and even harder to accept.”

“Nothing prepares us for a loss like this,” she continued. “We want to wholeheartedly thank each person who lifted up a prayer, sent a message, a word of encouragement, or accompanied us with love during this very difficult time. Every show of love, every thought and every prayer reached us and held us up when we had no strength anymore.”
