Lyubov Isaeva, 18, died instantly in the crash near Khabarovsk but miraculously three people, two men and a woman, emerged alive from the wreckage of the car. 

The Toyota was overtaking at speed when it struck a Gazelle mini-truck turning left in front of it at around 5 am on 26 May. The driver lost control, crashed into the curb, and the vehicle rolled over several times hitting a lamp post.
