James Dulin says his daughter, Alexandra, was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Sunday. The 21-year-old woman was a popular influencer across social media known as “Ali Spice.”
He last spoke to his daughter on Saturday afternoon, who was planning her trip home to Indiana for Christmas. Dulin said his daughter was just home for Thanksgiving.
Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol said that just after 2 a.m. on Sunday, a driver going the wrong way on State Road 44 slammed into the Infiniti in which Ali was riding, Dulin said. She and the two other passengers died. Troopers said the driver of the Infiniti suffered serious injuries. Investigators said after the crash, the driver of the Toyota Tacoma who caused the crash ran from the scene, leaving a passenger behind in his car. So do Ali’s fans on social media.
Dulin said his daughter’s main focus was her social media accounts and that she worked at Hooters for fun. Ali had started college majoring in fashion design when she was approached about modeling. Dulin said she dropped out of college when her modeling and social media took off. He joked that he wishes some of Ali’s clothing was a bit bigger but added that he is very proud of what she accomplished.
Dulin said initially his daughter’s followers were mostly men, but she worked hard to diversify her audience. "She had purposefully built up a following, so she had a voice, and then when she had the voice she used the voice to try to help girls," Dulin said.
