EXCLUSIVE: Tragic Love Story Cut Short - Miss Universe Contestant Killed by Elk in Frightening Road Accident

In a shocking turn of events, Kseniya Alexandrova, a stunning 30-year-old model and former Miss Universe contestant, has met her untimely demise in a freak accident that left the world stunned. The beautiful Russian beauty queen was driving her luxury Porsche with her new husband by her side when disaster struck - an elk suddenly leaped out of nowhere, smashing through their windshield and leaving Kseniya fighting for life.

The heart-wrenching incident occurred on July 5th in Tver Oblast, Russia, where the newlywed couple was cruising along in their sleek supercar. Miraculously, Kseniya's husband survived the crash with minor injuries, but his beautiful bride did not fare so well. The poor woman was left battling for her life, slipping in and out of consciousness as she lay in a coma at Rzhev hospital.

As per eyewitness accounts, the elk - which is known to be a common sight in Russia's rural areas - suddenly darted onto the road, forcing Kseniya's husband to swerve but ultimately unable to avoid the collision. "From the moment it jumped out to the impact, a split second passed," he recounted in an emotional interview with RIA. "I didn't have time to do anything." The elk, weighing over 500 kilograms, crashed through the windshield and struck Kseniya's head, causing severe brain injuries.

"It was like something out of a horror movie," her husband recalled, still visibly shaken by the incident. "The elk flew into the car, its legs smashing against the dashboard. I tried to pull my wife out, but she was unconscious, her head broken... everything was covered in blood."

The newlyweds had exchanged vows just four short months prior to the tragic accident, and Kseniya's husband couldn't help but feel a sense of dread as he watched his bride slip further into darkness. "We were so happy together," he said through tears. "She was making progress for some time... we thought she would pull through."

Alexandrova was involved in the freak accident crash alongside her husband in Tver Oblast, Russia on July 5. The model's husband survived the crash, while she remained in hospital for over a month until she died on Friday

But fate had other plans. Despite initial hopes that the brave beauty queen would overcome her injuries, Kseniya's condition took a turn for the worse. Her husband revealed that doctors had to perform a second operation to address complications arising from meningitis and blood sepsis.

Sadly, even medical intervention couldn't save her life. On Friday, just days after being taken off life support, Kseniya passed away at Moscow's Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Medicine. The news sent shockwaves through the fashion world and beyond, leaving fans and loved ones stunned by the sudden loss of this vibrant young woman.

The Miss Universe organization has issued a heartfelt tribute to their beloved alumna, stating: "Her grace, beauty, and spirit left an unforgettable mark on the Miss Universe family and beyond. May her memory continue to inspire kindness, strength, and love in all those who were fortunate enough to know her."

Kseniya's untimely passing serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life - a stark contrast to her dazzling on-stage presence during the 2017 Miss Universe pageant. As tributes pour in from fans worldwide, one thing is clear: Kseniya Alexandrova will forever be remembered for her captivating smile and unbreakable spirit.

Alexandrova's husband said that they were driving slowly at the time of the crash and were wearing seatbelts, but the low front of their $100,000 Porsche Panamera (seen in a stock image) meant it collided with the legs of the elk and the airbags did not deploy
