“I Didn’t Have Time”: Husband Recalls “Split Second” Accident That Cost Miss Universe’s Life

Odd, unexplained and far more common than you would think.

A Russian former Miss Universe contestant passed away after an elk jumped in front of the luxury vehicle she was driving in.

Kseniya Alexandrova, 30, was a television host, psychologist, and beauty pageant titleholder who first became famous as Miss Russia before contending for the international title in 2017.

She was driving back from Rzhev in the country’s western Tver Oblast on an interstate highway with her husband when the animal sprang in front of their Porsche Panamera, resulting in her head injury that would ultimately turn fatal.

The accident took place on July 5 on the 191st kilometer of the M9 heading toward Moscow in what–according to her surviving husband Ilya, whom she had just married four months prior–transpired in a “split second”.

“I didn’t have time to do anything,” he told the state-owned RIA Novosti .

“She was unconscious, her head was broken, everything was covered in blood,” the agency reported him saying.
