Photos: Bride met her death on the way to her wedding

A young woman has been killed in a shocking head-on crash - while driving to her own wedding.

Guzel Zakirova, 23, was heading to meet her groom after getting her hair done ahead of the civil ceremony.

But what was meant to be her 'happiest day' instead became one of sadness and horror for friends and relatives after her car was 'crumpled like a tin' in the Bashkortostan region of Russia.  

The bride was pronounced dead at the crash site and her body was shown lying on the ground under a cover.
