Forme Miss Universe 2017 Russia contestant Kseniya Alexandrova killed in car accident involving elk
A former Miss Universe contestant died earlier this week following a freak accident when an elk smashed through the windshield of her Porsche, according to a report.
Kseniya Alexandrova, 30, suffered severe brain injuries when the massive caribou came flying through the windshield of her car while she and her husband were driving in Tver Oblast, Russia, on July 5, People reported, citing Russian outlets.
The gorgeous model, who was Vice-Miss Russia in 2017, was in the passenger seat of the Porsche Panamera when the elk leaped into the road and collided with the car.
Her husband survived, while the beauty pageant contestant suffered significant trauma that kept her in a coma until she died on Friday.
“From the moment it jumped out to the impact, a split second passed. I didn’t have time to do anything,” her husband told Russian outlet RIA in a statement.
“The elk flew into the car. The blow hit Ksyusha in the head. She was unconscious, her head was broken, everything was covered in blood,” he said.
The heartbroken husband revealed that the front of his beautiful bride’s skull was shattered by the elk’s legs, which went through the window of the low-to-the-ground sports car.
After more than a month in a deep coma, Alexandrova died on August 15, according to her modeling agency.
The couple were newlyweds, having just tied the knot four months before the accident, according to the model’s popular Instagram account.
Alexandrova was a participant in the Miss Universe 2017 pageant, which took place in Vegas, but did not place in the Top 16 semifinalists.
