They decided to go south, and not by train or plane, but on wheels - on their "humpback". But their vacation only lasted a day. They left Leningrad on July 5 and got into an accident the next morning. Kurikhin was driving, who apparently fell asleep and lost control of the car for a few seconds. These seconds were enough for the Zaporozhets to jump out to the side of the road and crash into a tree at high speed. Both spouses were killed.
