A stunning Russian model who was travelling on a bus to visit her boyfriend to say goodbye before heading back home has died after she was thrown out of a window when the bus crashed into a truck.

Stunning Tatiana Kulikova, 27, spent a year in Argentina working as a model, but decided to go back to Russia because she was feeling homesick.

She got on the bus, but was killed when it crashed in the town of Carmen de Areco in the Argentinian province of Buenos Aires on 18th January.

Police investigators say they are baffled as to why the accident happened, as the bus was travelling in optimal conditions when it hit a Mercedes-Benz lorry that was transporting drinks.

Alberto Salazar, head of the Carmen de Areco Fire Station, told local media: “The reason for the impact is still a mystery. The route is in optimal conditions, because it is a new road and it has a double lane going in either direction. That day there was neither fog nor rain, so the tarmac was dry.”

The blood test showed that the driver of the bus was not under the influence of alcohol. He was charged with ‘culpable homicide’ and the investigation is ongoing.

In the accident, Tatiana was thrown out of the bus window and passed away on the spot, while 12 other people on board who were injured survived.

Tatiana moved from Russia to Argentina last year to work as a model. After spending a year in Argentina, she decided she was homesick and had a ticket reserved for tomorrow (25th January) to go back home to Russia.

She was headed to the city of Venado Tuerto, where her boyfriend Francisco Palma lived, in order to say goodbye to him.

Francisco told local media: “I’m not in a position to talk to anyone. First I need to solve several problems to try to put her at peace. I am also the only person she had here and I am alone with this.”

The family is preparing procedures in order to bring her body back to Russia.
