A middle-aged woman in Calabar on Sunday reportedly died in a lone accident who was in a hot chase of her husband over his “mistress”.

The incident occurred on the Muritala Mohammed Highway in Calabar and claimed the life of the woman who veered off the road into a ditch by the road.

A source said that a woman sighted her husband leaving SPAR shopping Mall in the company of another female when she tried to block her husband’s car with the Toyota Highlander she was driving in.

Her husband was said to have manoeuvred his vehicle out of the attempted blockade and took the Murtala Muhammed highway, with his wife in serious pursuit.

In a bid to outrun her husband, she lost control of the speeding vehicle, veered off the road and slammed the vehicle, headlong, into a tree, damaging the vehicle beyond repairs and also killing herself, the source revealed.
