The accident which involved a Toyota Highlander claimed the life of the lone female driver who veered off the road into a ditch while pursuing her husband who was with his mistress, an eyewitness recounted.
The deceased was said to have sighted her husband leaving a shopping Mall in the company of another female occupant suspected to be his girlfriend.
She tried to block her husband’s car at the mall but he escaped the attempt and she chased him with the Toyota Highlander she was driving before she met her untimely death, said another witness.
The police said she was rushed to the hospital but died before she got there due to severe injuries she sustained as a result of the accident.
