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.

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.

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.
