Russian news outlet Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported that Alexandrova died in a Moscow hospital on August 12 from complications related to the July 5 crash.
What happened in the crash?
Alexandrova and her husband were driving home from Rzhev on July 5 when an elk suddenly jumped onto the road, the husband told Rossiyskaya Gazeta in a statement translated from Russian. “From the moment it jumped out to the impact, a split second passed. I didn't have time to do anything,” he said. He added that Alexandrova was unconscious after the collision and recalled, “Everything was covered in blood.”
Other drivers stopped to help at the scene, and emergency services arrived within about 15 minutes, the husband said. Alexandrova was taken to a Moscow hospital for treatment of severe brain injuries. Despite medical care, her condition worsened and she later passed away from complications on August 12.
