Her husband saw police cars and knew something was wrong - in an instant, his world fell apart
Ibizugbe Joy Ikponnmwen was just 38. She had dreams of becoming a mother and aspired to train as a nurse or a teacher.
In a powerful victim impact statement read in court, Ibizugbe's heartbroken widow spoke of his anguish and the moment his life 'ended forever'. He saw police at the scene of the crash on his way to a late shift at work and knew something was wrong. "As I was leaving for work, I noticed all the police cars and I felt something was wrong. I tried to call her but there was no answer. It was unusual for her not to answer her phone and I was concerned," he said.
"I have had to move to a new area because of the memories in the old house. It was too difficult living with those reminders of what we had, and what could have been." She reached the junction with Ashton Old Road and crossed halfway to the central reservation. It was at this point, prosecutors say, that as she attempted to cross, she was struck by the Mercedes.
