Russian fashion model and TV presenter Svetlana Savitskaya has tragically passed away after being hit by a car in Paris on Wednesday. The 34-year-old model, known for her work with top fashion magazines like L’Officiel, Bazaar, and Glamour, was struck while walking on a sidewalk.
According to her friend, Svetlana was caught in a dangerous situation. Two cars were driving toward each other, and one driver swerved sharply to avoid a collision. In the process, the car veered onto the sidewalk and struck Svetlana. She fell under the wheels and sadly did not survive the injuries.
Svetlana’s friends and family are deeply heartbroken by her sudden death. Her mother has asked everyone who cared for her to pray for her soul for 40 days.
Born in Moscow in 1990, Svetlana had an impressive career. She worked as a model for several famous magazines and also hosted popular TV shows on Russian music channels such as RU TV, Friday, and Europa Plus TV. Over the past few years, she had lived abroad, spending time in Los Angeles and London, where she earned a master’s degree in art.
Her followers on social media are mourning the loss of a “bright and tragically short” life. “You will forever be in our hearts,” many have written.
Svetlana’s funeral will be held next Monday at Troekurovsky Cemetery in Moscow, where she will be laid to rest. This tragic event has left many in shock, as they remember her as not just a talented model, but a shining personality who had so much more to offer.
