Nigerian Man Killed in Car Crash Shortly After Relocating to the UK

A Nigerian man, David Oyedeji Adediwura, has lost his life following a fatal road cr@sh in the United Kingdom. The incident happened at about 9:38 p.m. on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, on Cory Wright Way in Wheathampstead.

According to Hertfordshire Police, a silver Vauxhall Astra carrying Adediwura and two other men collided with a grey BMW 840i. The three occupants of the Astra, aged in their 30s, 40s and 50s, were pronounced d+ad at the scene, while the BMW driver, a man in his 30s, sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital.

Following the tragedy, Adediwura’s former colleague at Yodel and DHL, Iretiayo Oyewole, launched a GoFundMe campaign with a £10,000 target to assist the late Nigerian’s wife and their three children.

His widow, Modinat Adebayo, paid an emotional tribute, describing his d+ath as the darkest moment of her life. She said they had relocated from Nigeria to the UK in search of a better future for their family, but their dreams were cut short by the tragic accident.
