Russian Actress Still Fighting for Her Daughter's Life in Coma After 2013 Car Crash

Film director Andrei Konchalovsky and actress Yulia Vysotskaya have two children: daughter Maria and son Pyotr. Last autumn, Maria turned 25, but she has spent the past 13 years in a coma, where she remains to this day. In 2013, the family was involved in a devastating road accident in southern France. The 14-year-old suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and was placed into a medically induced coma. What Happened on That Fateful Day October 12, 2013, became a turning point from which there was no return for Andrei Konchalovsky and Yulia Vysotskaya's family. While driving in France, the acclaimed filmmaker crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with another vehicle. Their daughter Maria survived the crash but sustained a severe traumatic brain injury. She was rushed to a hospital in Marseille.
