Tragedy struck when Elise, 45, had travelled to Cancun, with her husband Dan for a wedding on March 6.
Their vehicle was part of a horror 10-car pileup on a freeway in the popular vacation spot.
The collision became a tragedy when their vehicle was hit by a truck pull of hot asphalt.
This caused their car to flip and and the mom-of-three became trapped under “steaming hot asphalt”, according to a family post.
The driver was also killed in the shocking accident and Dan suffered minor injuries.
Elise was initially rushed to a hospital in Mexico but transported to Salt Lake City, Utah, for crucial treatment at a burns unit.
The influencer’s family confirmed the tragic news in a heartbreaking Instagram post.
They wrote: “We are absolutely heartbroken to share the news of Elise’s passing tonight. She held on so long and fought so hard against an impossibly difficult set of circumstances.
“Absolutely everything that could have been done for her was done and we are so grateful she was able to make it back home to say good bye to her family before leaving us.
“We believe in eternal families and know we’ll see our beautiful mom, sister, wife, and daughter again.
“We’re so grateful for all the prayers and love that have buoyed us up in the last few days and that we know will continue to in the days ahead.”
