Olivia Dewi, 17, a teenage girl who died after being trapped in a flaming car on Jl. Jend. Sudirman in Central Jakarta in the small hours of Saturday morning, was a Gadis Sampul winner (Cover Girl contest) in 2010, an acquaintance says.

"She won a Gadis Sampul contest two years ago," said Olivia's friend Fares in front of the Dharmais Cancer Hospital's morgue in Central Jakarta, as quoted by kompas.com. Fares went to the same school with Olivia.

Fares said she met Olivia on Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. after school.

"She [Olivia] was an easy going person and she always looked cheerful in the classroom," she said.

She added that Olivia was also known as a smart second-grade high school student and actively participated in basketball competition at the school.

Olivia was found dead after her car crashed into a billboard supporting pole in front of the Wisma Nugra Santana building before bursting into flames.

The accident claimed Olivia's life and hurt her friend Joy Sebastian who was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Jakarta Police traffic management center's First Brig. David said that the speeding car was first spotted at 3 a.m., coming from Semanggi and heading to the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle.

He said that the driver appeared to have lost control of the car before it hit the pole. The car caught fire soon after.

Security guards and firefighters were on hand to extinguish the fire.

After it was put out, Olivia was found dead.

The police are still investigating the cause of the accident.
