A Nigerian man, David Oyedeji Adediwura, has been identified as one of three people who lost their lives in a tragic road crash in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, UK.

Adediwura died after a collision involving a silver Vauxhall Astra and a grey BMW 840i on Cory Wright Way at about 9:38 p.m. on July 22.

According to Hertfordshire Police, three men travelling in the Astra, aged in their 30s, 40s and 50s, were pronounced dead at the scene.

n

The driver of the BMW, a man in his 30s, sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital.

n

Following the tragedy, Adediwura’s former colleagues at Yodel and DHL launched a GoFundMe campaign to support his wife and three children.

n

The fundraiser aims to raise £10,000 to help the family with funeral and burial expenses, as well as other immediate financial needs.

n

Describing the loss, the organisers said, “David’s death was sudden, heartbreaking and completely unexpected.”

n

They added, “News of the tragedy has left his family, friends, colleagues and everyone who knew him struggling to come to terms with an unimaginable loss.”

n

The tribute continued: “David was more than a colleague. He was a valued member of our community whose presence, kindness and contributions touched the lives of those around him.

n

“He will be remembered for his warm personality, generosity, dedication to his work and willingness to support others.”

n

The fundraiser’s organiser, Iretiayo Oyewole, said the donations would help ease the financial burden on the grieving family.

n

“Every donation, regardless of its size, will make a meaningful difference,” Oyewole said.

n

“It will help relieve some of the financial pressure on David’s family and allow them to focus on grieving, supporting one another and honouring his memory.”

n

He also appealed to those unable to donate financially to support the campaign by sharing it with friends, colleagues and community groups.

n

Meanwhile, Hertfordshire Police have appealed for witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage of the collision to come forward as investigations continue.

Detective Constable Lewis Stanley said: “Firstly, I wish to share my condolences with the family and friends of those who lost their lives in last night’s collision.

n

“They are being supported by our specialist officers at this incredibly distressing time.

n

“If you saw what happened and are yet to speak to police, please report it.”
