A 23-year-old female boxing influencer and MMA fighter, Dominika Elischerova, known online as Mina, has died after a crash involving a lorry while travelling to a Muay Thai training session. The Czech national was seriously injured when a truck struck her scooter on Koh Samui. She was taken to hospital but died despite efforts to save her life.

The incident occurred as Mina was en route to training, according to local reports and statements from those close to her. She had travelled to Koh Samui to pursue Muay Thai and had built a large social media following of around 800,000 documenting her journey. Mina had also appeared in the Czech mixed martial arts television programme “Clash of the Stars”.

Following the crash, Mina suffered critical injuries and her heart reportedly stopped four times, according to her teammate Samir Margina, who said he witnessed the incident. Speaking to CNN Prima, a day before her death, he said: “Mina’s heart has failed three times, now for the fourth time, put her in a coma four times.” He added that she was in a very serious condition and urged people to pray.

Margina also criticised the hospital, claiming that medics laughed while attempting to save her life. He said he had tried to intervene to ensure she received proper care. In a later tribute shared on Instagram, he described Mina as “the biggest fighter” and thanked her for their shared experiences.

A spokesperson for the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that she died despite immediate efforts to assist her and before further treatment could be carried out. Friends and colleagues also paid tribute online, with influencer Adelka Soukupova writing: “Goodbye, sister. You will always be my older sister, who I could confide in at any time. I love you.”

A statement from Clash MMA said: “It is with deep sadness that we announce that Dominika has sadly lost her final battle in hospital. We are extremely sorry for this. This is ripping our hearts.” The tribute described her as a wrestler, presenter and valued member of their community, adding that her “laugh, positive energy and fight will never be forgotten”.

The Sun reported that authorities have not released further details about the circumstances of the crash. The incident has drawn attention to road safety risks for riders in Thailand, particularly involving larger vehicles. Further information may emerge as investigations continue and officials review the events surrounding the collision and subsequent medical response.

Thai hospitals can be unprofessional like that.
