Emma Wilkinson, a British driver taking part in the 2013 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, and two by-passers were killed in a head-on crash which occurred on a Siberian road near the small village of Golyshmanovo, around 130 miles (210 kilometers) east of Tyumen, Tyumen Oblast, Russia.
It happened at approximately 13h40 on Wednesday, 12 June 2013, on the third week of the classic and vintage car rally, during a 674-kilometer (419-mile) displacement stage from Omsk to Tyumen.
While traveling along the E22 federal motorway, which was described locally as very dangerous, towards the next checkpoint located at Tyumen, the 1970 Chevrolet C10 pick-up #92 driven by Emma Wilkinson, 46, was hit head-on by a Volkswagen Polo coming at speed from the opposite direction. According to eyewitnesses reports, the driver of the private car could have fallen asleep moments before careering across the road into the path of the oncoming Chevrolet pick-up. Traffic was very light at the moment and no skid marks were found on the asphalt.
Miss Wilkinson was killed almost instantly, her partner and co-driver Peter Davies, was unscathed. Two of the three occupants of the other car, all members of the same family, lost their lives. A 32-year-old Russian man named Rodmir Velidov and his three-months-old son Amir Velidov from Khanti-Mansiyskiy autonomous region, also died on the spot. The baby was in the arms of his mother, aged 29, who sustained critical injuries and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
Emma Wilkinson, from Brigstock, Northamptonshire, was survived by her son and a daughter. She was a retired Virgin stewardess at her racing debut in the endurance rally for historic, in which also her two brothers Robert and Mark Wilkinson were participating, in a 1926 Bentley 6.5 Tourer.
