Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered the interior minister to look into a recent car crash in Moscow involving the LUKoil vice president that killed two doctors, his spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

The crash, which provoked public outrage, caused the deaths of a well-known gynecologist, Vera Sidelnikova, and her daughter-in-law, Olga Alexandrina, also a doctor.

The accident occurred on February 25 on Moscow's Leninsky Prospekt when the chauffeur-driven Mercedes of the LUKoil executive, Anatoly Barkov, collided with the small Citroen driven by Alexandrina.

"The president has ordered Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev to figure out all the circumstances of this tragedy and report back," Natalya Timakova said.

She also said that Medvedev was aware of the open letter addressed to him by leading Russian cultural figures.
