A husband died when he stormed out of his car on the M25 and was hit by a lorry after a blazing row with his wife.
Florence Olokun-Ola had pulled over on what she and her husband Nahinmu Nicholas both thought was the hard shoulder, not realising it was a live lane because of roadworks.
Moments later the 53-year-old man was knocked down and killed by a bread lorry, as he tried to thumb a lift for the onward journey to Heathrow airport, on the side of the motorway.


The couple had been in the middle of a heated argument about Mr Nicholas taking the family credit card abroad with him when he stormed out of the car clutching his suitcases.
Details of the couple's row as they headed for the airport in their Ford Focus car were revealed at an inquest into Mr Nicholas’ death.
A coroner heard that in the midst of their row Mr Nicholas and his wife had missed signs warning motorists that owing to roadworks the hard shoulder was being used as a live lane.


An approaching Warburtons lorry driver was unable to avoid the 'hitch-hiker' as he suddenly caught sight of him in the murky early morning.
The lorry also struck the couple’s car during the freak accident just six minutes after they had stopped on the clockwise carriageway of the M25 at junction 6 for Godstone, Surrey.
The inquest in Woking, Surrey, heard that Mr Nicholas was being driven to Heathrow Airport by his wife at 4.30am on April 10, when the row started in their car.


Mrs Olokun-Ola said that her husband was going to Nigeria alone for 12 days and that the fight started because she wanted their bank card while he was away.
'The argument became very aggressive and his voice changed,' she said.
Mrs Olokun-Ola, who earlier told how things were tense at home due to financial problems, explained she no longer felt comfortable driving and pulled over to what she thought was the hardshoulder.
'He took off his seat belt,' she said. 'As soon as the car stopped he took the keys and opened the boot and took out his luggage. He put it by the crash barrier.'
In a bid to get her husband back in the car Mrs Olokun-Ola drove forward a bit, but he started to walk back down the carriageway trying to thumb a lift.
Then 13 tonne truck being driven by Martin Hook hit the rear of the Ford Focus.
'I got out the car and at first I was angry because he didn’t come running over to see if I was okay,' she said. 'I initially couldn’t see him anywhere.'
The court heard that she then discovered her husband’s body and raced back to her car to dial 999.
Mr Hook said that he was travelling through the roadworks at 50mph on the dry spring morning.
'The next thing I knew was there was a dark shadow in front of me,' he said. 'I turned straight away to the centre of the carriageway.'
Mr Hook said he never saw anybody outside of the car. A post mortem examination concluded that Mr Nicholas died as a result of severe head injuries.
Police accident reconstruction expert PC Dominic Gibson said that the stretch of the M25 where the accident happened was unlit.
He said that there were signs warning motorists that the hard shoulder was now a live lane.
Assistant Surrey Coroner Michael Burgess recorded a verdict that Mr Nicholas died as a result of a road traffic collision.

R.i.p Nick.

Anger is destructive.
May the rivers of living water cool our hearts when emotions become tense.

RIP sir.

May his soul rest in peace.

Oh no!

This is just horribly painful.

RIP to him...poor family...

now she has the bank card abi? anger does evil things

birdman: now she has the bank card abi? anger does evil things

Excuse me?

May God console the family

I always wonder that women outlive their husbands!

birdman: now she has the bank card abi? anger does evil things

let's hope she can live with killing her hubby..

she parked her car on M25 thereby putting herself, her husband and other road users in danger. i am sure she asked her hubby out of the car in the heat of their argument - why would a man get down on M25 hoping to hitchhike to heathrow? this is a very selfish woman - the type to be avoided.

Typical naija male response. Abi you were there?

orun e re o..

Anger is Danger,short of the alphabet letter "D".

RIP to the man.

chaircover: I was thinking about this story at work today. I was thinking about all the "ifs" and "whys" . . so many things went wrong to end up with this tragedy.

lets spare a thought too for the poor lorry driver . . he too was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

i don't have to be there to visualise what happened. some of us apply our cognitive reasoning in issues like this.

a woman was taking her hubby to the airport then all of a sudden she parked & the hubby was trying to get out with his suitcases & hitch-hike to the airport on M fuckïng 25....

if it was a woman that did the same, many of y'all females would say she was being abused & she was trying to run away from him before she gets killed.

why would any man scheduled to be @ the airport suddenly decide to risk getting late for his flight to hitch-hike? i will let your spider senses tingle & provide the answers for you.

Lol the guy wanted to go and flex naija girls for 12 days with the family credit card...

She definitely stopped, refusing to continue with the journey to the heathrow and her husband decided to look for an alternative. Now the world is hers.

Shut up and read the topic, typical emotional breed.
May God Make Me Avoid Your Type, Amen

Women = Evil

Women want everything including your life.

End time lorry

I don`t know where you live but if you had an inkling what goes on over there with our women as i do, you will believe.

May Allah consider his unfortunate situation and give him 10 virgins.

How do you feel after the comment?

the woman threatened to discontinue the journey & this was the reason the guy was getting his suitcases to continue the journey on foot.

M25 is like lagos-ibadan expressway. no car would stop for him there. he would not get a taxi there so fück knows what the woman said to him that made him want to continue his journey on foot.

Oh!

O ga o

No one knows exactly what transpired between both of 'em whilst he was in the car, but women are generally famed for how drawn out, rather elaborate and tiresome their convos can be hence the arrival of a lot of people at the conclusion that she must have nagged him to his death. That said, May his soul rest in perfect peace and may God strengthen and keep the woman from blaming herself for her husband's death for the rest of her life. There's no use wishing things had been different if you've got no chance in hell of changing the past. However, if you've got a wife who's not one of those women who can nag a man into a psychiatric ward whilst hiding under the pretext of 'A man should always do the right thing'...you've got to thank your stars for giving you a favorable alignment. Such women are very very hard to find.

The Bible even contains phrases like 'Its better to live on a roof than to live with a nagging wife'. Heck, I'd rather stay unmarried than share a roof with a nagging one. Life has enough hazards around to shorten a man's life to within half of its supposed length. Why shorten it further for a woman?

She`s responsible for his death. Family bank card indeed, the bank card belongs to the man.
