Happened on June 11, 2012
29 years old Olga Gaikovich from Syktyvkar was travelling in Rostov Region of Russia in Audi A4 with her husband Vadim and his brother's family. Around 11:00 am between cities of Azov and Peshkovo a brick fell off a Kamaz truck, smashed car's windshield and struck Olga. Her husband, his brother and brother's wife with a child were not injured. She was rushed to the hospital in the city of Azov but she was pronounced dead 2 hours later.
Truck driver didn't notice anything and continued to drive. He was stopped by the police in Azov.
"Police is not going to consider this as just an accident." - Alexey Polyansky, head of the Press Service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Rostov Region.
Happened here:
Interview with her grandma from NTV series "Спасатели" (too lazy to translate the whole thing)
Interesting things she said:
Vadim (Olga's husband) quickly married another woman and now (2013) they live together in apartment Olga bought;
she doesn't blame Kamaz driver
Aftermath photos:

Three month later their Audi was still up and running

I can't help but cry anytime I see this video. The first time I saw it on 4chan fucked me up. The sheer emotion and despair you hear from the other people in the car. I've never seen her face until I saw it posted here. She was beautiful and seemed to love life. I hope it was quick and painless, but this video is a haunting reminder of how fragile life is and how fast everything can be taken away. Everyone please try to enjoy your lives, we have no idea when we or those we loves are going to be taken from us. We don't have as much time as we think we do.
