Husband dies in car accident after arguing with wife in car

Tragic story that I read in today's newspaper, that was very close to something I experienced with a close friend.
Quote from article (UK Newspaper):
"A woman has spoken of her heartache at losing the 'love of her life' when her husband was killed in a horrific car crash as the couple rowed over a takeaway.
Mechanic Paul Graham, 49, died in the accident on the A461 in Rushall, Walsall, West Midlands, after the spat with wife Denisa, an inquest heard.
The couple, who had been married less than a year, had been on their way home on April 24 after Mr Graham had taken part in a basketball training session for his club, Shelfield Sharks."

Summary below:
The petty argument was over a takeaway; Paul wanted a curry but Denisa, a model (link 1, link 2), didn't want to eat an unhealthy meal - she was on a diet. Tragically the couple weren't wearing seatbelts. Very sad.

Pictures of the lovely couple - Paul and Denisa Graham:

 

So tragic Such a young love, cut short.

Love what you have when you have it. :heart::heart:

 

Very sad. May Paul Rest In Peace.

 

Too damned sad beyond reproach. My condolences.

 

This is why the little things don't even matter but the big things are so important.
It's natural to be human and have spats.
But you just don't know when. You don't know. We take for granted that we can forget to say I love you or that we can make a bigger deal out of the really insignificant things.

Maybe he transition peacefully and may she find solace in her suffering.

 

Terribly sad.

Reminds me of a similar story of a couple I knew that happened about 5 yrs ago. They were out, celebrating their anniversary...got into an argument (don't even remember now what it was about)...they were on their way home, stopped at a traffic light, waiting to turn left. She got so angry that she got out of the car, it was dark and nearly midnight...someone who was under the influence was driving and didn't see her...hit her. She died instantly.

How do you live with yourself with that level of regret?

To make matters worse, she was an identical twin, with 2 small children at the time. So very sad.

 

My prayer goes out to the wife. May her husband rest in peace. This only makes the point for all of us to not take anything for granted. My God life is so fragile. I would not know what to do if I lost my significant other over something so petty. We should all learn from these lessons of life.

 

Buckle up
