The tragic incident occurred on February 13 when the vehicle carrying Kamylla and two of her other friends started having problems.
Goias Military Police said the driver noticed something was wrong with one of the front wheels.
They stopped to check the problem and got out of the car on the highway.
Upon inspection, they discovered that some of the bolts holding the wheels in place were missing.
It's unclear if someone tried to steal the wheel and was interrupted after removing some bolts, or if they simply became loose and fell off.
Kamylla started to fix the wheel, but was hit by another vehicle while she was fixing the problem.
She tragically died on the spot.
The driver of the car, who was believed to be speeding, did not stop and drove away.
Kamylla's friends could not give police any details about the vehicle that hit the model.
They just said it was a vehicle traveling in the same direction as them.
Kamylla's friend Laura Teixeira said on social media: “We have finished organizing our processes for our long-awaited agency.
“Friend, have I told you enough that I loved you? My God, what pain I feel.'
And another friend said, “Every time I think of you, I will remember your joy and light.
“Now you will make the angels happy, rest in beautiful peace and may God comfort the whole family.”
The investigation into the star's death is still ongoing.
