Mr Maikano Hassan, The Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Cross River State, has confirmed a lone accident that killed a middle-aged woman in Calabar, yesterday, who was in a hot chase of her husband over his “mistress.”
The Sector Commander, who spoke with news correspondence yesterday, said the accident was caused by over-speeding.
He also said, the accident involving a Toyota Highlander, which occurred in Murtala Muhammed Highway in Calabar, claimed the life of the lone female driver who veered off the road into a ditch by the road.
His words: “Though the woman was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, she was said to have died a few minutes later due to the injury sustained from the accident.”
It was said that the woman was in pursuit of her husband, who was alleged to be with a “side chick” in his car when she lost control of her vehicle, killing herself in the process.
A source who didn’t want her name in print told some news correspondence that the woman sighted her husband leaving SPAR shopping mall in the company of another female when she tried to block her husband’s car with the Toyota Highlander she was driving in.
The source also said: “Her husband was said to have maneuvered his vehicle out of the attempted blockade then took the Murtala Muhammed highway, with his wife in serious pursuit.
“In a bid to outrun her husband, she lost control of the speeding vehicle, veered off the road and slammed the vehicle on a tree, damaging the vehicle beyond repairs and also killing herself”.
