MOSCOW, August 21 (RIA Novosti) - A woman who was severely burned when two fighters crashed during a rehearsal for the MAKS-2009 air show just outside Moscow has died in hospital, a doctor said on Friday.

"She died without regaining consciousness," he said.

Olga Yudina had suffered burns over 80% of her body.

A total of four people were injured on the ground as a result of the crash. Their lawyer, Igor Trunov, said they had yet to decide whether to sue.

Sunday's collision near Zhukovsky airfield, east of Moscow, involved two Su-27 Flanker jet fighters from Russia's elite aerobatics group Russkiye Vityazi (Russian Knights).

A Russian military pilot killed in the collision died after his parachute caught fire.
