The wife of a man who died in a serious crash on the M1 said she 'knew something was wrong' when her husband failed to return her call. An inquest into the deaths of self-employed Harris Gondwe, 38, and Jack Steer, 52, is taking place after they both died at the scene of the collision in Nottinghamshire on January 20 this year.
A heartfelt statement was read out on behalf of the wife of Jack Steer, Wendy Steer, on Tuesday (December 6) at Nottingham Council House. Mr Steer was described as a "generous and kind" person, who would do "anything for anybody".
Recollecting the tragic day her beloved husband died, Ms Steer said in her statement that she told him "I love you" before he headed out to work. Mr Steer was referred to as "Andrew" over the name "Jack", which he had preferred.
