Vadim Rulev, a former member of the band The Hatters, and his wife Ekaterina were killed in a car crash in Vyborgsky District, Leningrad Oblast. The regional branch of Russia's Interior Ministry confirmed the tragic incident.
(Note: I changed "Ministry of Internal Affairs" to "Interior Ministry" as it's a more common English equivalent for МВД, while keeping the same meaning. I also adjusted the phrasing to make it sound more natural in English while preserving all key details.)
