Her husband sustained minor injuries and was not in critical condition. He reported that the accident occurred in a section of the highway under repair, which lacked barriers to protect against wildlife.
Throughout her treatment, family and friends remained by Alexandrova's side, hoping for a miracle. She experienced periods of coma, regained consciousness, and then fell back into a coma. Despite undergoing complex surgeries, she did not survive.
Before her passing, Alexandrova had enjoyed five blissful months of marriage. Ilya proposed in Paris in 2024 with a diamond ring worth 4 million rubles (over 1.3 billion Vietnamese dong). Their wedding took place in March at an estate near Moscow.

After the wedding, Alexandrova said, "I never thought an event could resonate in my heart for so long. I remember every second and still seem to be floating in those emotions. A day filled with love, joy, and sincerity." The couple honeymooned in the Maldives.
According to Women magazine, Alexandrova lived a bright but short life. She dreamed of starting a family and building a happy home. She and Ilya shared a deep connection and a passion for psychology.
