ctress Vanesza Adzania, popularly known as Vanessa Angel, and her husband Febri “Bibi” Andriansyah, were killed in a car accident on the Jombang Toll Road in East Java on Thursday.

The incident took place at 12.36 p.m. and also involved the couple's 1-year-old son, Gala Sky Andriansyah, his babysitter and the family driver, said East Java Police public relations head chief comm. Gatot Repli Handoko

"There were five people. Two people died, three people were injured," Gatot told reporters on Thursday as quoted by kompas.com.

The police further revealed that the incident had been a single-car crash and the couple had died at the scene. Investigators believe the driver had been drowsy when he suddenly swerved the vehicle, causing it to crash into the toll road guardrails.

The bodies of Vanessa and Bibi were taken to Bhayangkara Hospital in Surabaya, while the toddler, babysitter and driver were rushed to Kertosono Hospital in Nganjuk for further treatment.

Earlier that day, Vanessa had uploaded a video of the family in their Sport Pajero on Instagram Story. She was reportedly on the way to attend an event.

Born on Dec. 21, 1991, Vanessa gained popularity in the entertainment industry when she starred in the soap opera Cinta Intan (Intan's Love) in 2008. After several more soap opera and film roles, she went on to try her luck in music, releasing a single with actor Nicky Tirta called “Indah Cintaku” (My Beautiful Love), which became an instant hit. Vanessa returned to soap operas in 2012.

More recently, she garnered notoriety for becoming embroiled in an online prostitution and then a drug-use case in 2019 and 2020, respectively. She was imprisoned in both cases.

Both fans and fellow celebrities have expressed their condolences on social media.
