A singer died in a car accident in Sverdlovsk Oblast.

      A tragic accident occurred in Polevskoy, in which 22-year-old Dmitry Faziullin — a talented singer known in the town for his vibrant performances — was killed. The young man was returning home with his mother when their car collided head-on with another vehicle.

      According to the traffic police, the 21-year-old driver of a Ford Focus lost control and drove into the oncoming lane, where he crashed into a Suzuki Solio. A 52-year-old woman was driving the Suzuki, and her son Dmitry was in the passenger seat. The force of the impact threw the car into a ditch. Rescuers had to extract the injured from the mangled vehicle. The mother and son were taken to hospital, but Dmitry could not be saved — he died in intensive care on the night of October 4 to 5.

      The death of the young performer was a heavy blow to his family, friends, and teachers. Dmitry studied at the Institute of Culture, won international competitions, and dreamed of the big stage.

      "My brother was incredibly talented. He felt at home on stage — confident, inspired, and fearless. Kind, responsive, always caring for others. Even before the operation he worried not about himself but about us. He believed that the world is beautiful; you just have to know how to look at it from the right angle," his sister Alina told E1.RU.

      Teachers who worked with Dmitry remember him fondly.

      "He wasn't just a student; he was an artist — bright, charismatic, alive. His talent was impossible to miss," said vocal teacher Elvira Seifullina.

      She added that at one competition Dmitry was immediately invited to study in Moscow — the judges were impressed by his energy and his voice.
