Malaysian TikTok star Athira Auni dead at 21 after motorcycle crash

Malaysian TikTok star Nurul Athira Auni Mohamad Hafizzan has tragically died at age 21, according to reports.

Hafizzan - who is known as Athira Auni online - died in an alleged motorcycle crash in Jalan Tanjung Lumpur, Malaysia very early Saturday morning, according to The Sinar Daily.

Hafizzan was riding her motorcycle when another motorcyclist, a 20-year-old student, allegedly collided into her at 2:30AM, according to Kuantan District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Ashari Abu Samah.

'Upon reaching the location, the victim was riding straight in the right lane. Suddenly, a motorcycle ridden by the student approached from behind and crashed into her,' Samah claimed.

Samah believes the student swerved to the left in order to avoid Auni's vehicle. But Auni allegedly also moved the direction of her bike at the same time as the other driver. 

They collided into one another after allegedly moving their vehicles at the same time and in the same direction. 

Auni was pronounced dead at the scene. The other driver incurred injuries on his hands, elbows, and thighs.

Auni's body was taken to Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital for a post-mortem examination while the other driver was taken in for treatment at the same hospital.   

An investigation for reckless or dangerous driving causing death is now underway. 

Auni had more than 77,000 TikTok followers on her TikTok account, which has since been deleted, according to People. 

On her TikTok, she livestreamed her making roti canai (an Indian flatbread) while working at her father's food stall. 

A friend of hers posted a video of her spreading roti canai as they paid tribute to Auni following her passing.

'On Friday, you asked me to record a video of you spreading roti canai for the last time, as if you already knew that night you were going to go make it,' read an English translation of the post's caption.
