David Oyedeji Adediwura, a Nigerian man, died as a result of a deadly traffic accident in the UK.
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 containing Adediwura and two other guys 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 guy in his 30s, had significant injuries and was brought 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 d3ath 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.
