The ANT-9 just completed a test flight and approaching Kazan old airport. It collided with a Polikarpov U-2 at a height of 30-35 meters. Eleven occupants of the ANT-9 were slightly injured, both pilots of the U-2 were killed. The cause of the accident turned out to be that Kazan Airport didn't have proper procedures for test flights and the pilot of the Polikarpov failed to bring attention to potential traffic and did not realize the presence of the second aircraft.
