Better known online as Vampira 085, the content creator was pronounced dead at the scene in Minas Gerais State, Brazil.
The incident unfolded on the BR-251 highway on Saturday last week.
Police had attempted to stop the vehicle near the town of Salinas but the driver allegedly ignored their order and sped away.
A high-speed pursuit then continued for six miles before the Fiat swerved into oncoming traffic while overtaking on a bend and then crashed into a Chevrolet Astra.
Alana was one of four people in the Fiat. Two young men who were also travelling with her died in hospital.
A woman, 20, survived but remains in a critical condition with severe head injuries and multiple fractures.
All four men travelling in the Chevrolet, aged between 46 and 79, were killed in the disaster.
Police identified the suspected driver of the Fiat as Pedro Yan Linhares Gutierrez, 24.

Officers said he did not have a driving licence, was wearing an electronic tag and was already facing drug trafficking charges.
In the aftermath, the highway was completely shut off.
Alana had built a large online fanbase – boasting over 59,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok – by sharing daily workout tips and healthy living content and comedy skits.
She also ran her own online fitness fashion shop from her home in the city of Fortaleza.
The investigation into the fatal crash remains ongoing.
