According to Hellothe accident occurred in July in the Tver region, where Alexandrova was a passenger when the car collided with a moose crossing the road. She was hospitalized at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute in Moscow, where she was treated for severe injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. Her husband, who was driving, survived the crash.
