'I Stopped To Help Pedestrian Hit By Car... Then Realised It Was My Dying Wife'

This is one of the saddest things I have ever read in my life:

A husband today told how he held a drip attached to the dying victim of a car crash - unaware that the woman was his wife.

"I parked my car, thinking that my wife's bus must have been delayed by what had happened but it must have been fractionally early.

"At virtually the same time the paramedics arrived. They were doing their best to help and I was holding a saline drip for them.

"Then another person who had stopped handed me a handbag and I recognised it. I always pick her up so she doesn't have to walk home. I couldn't believe it."

Mr Peters, who is a grandfather of four, added: "It's no reassurance to me that I was there at her final moments, there's not much reassurance anywhere, I'm devastated.

"She had been struck by a car as she crossed the road. I'm being looked after by my family but it is hard. My wife was perfect."

The couple had celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary just two days before the crash and were finalising their plans for retirement.

"She was the better half of me and now my better half is gone, I'm totally devastated."
