Aimi McCaffery was knocked over and killed by Glen Widdowson who had fallen asleep at the wheel in Cropwell Butler
A grieving husband has urged drivers to pull over and 'take a break' when they feel tired, after his wife was killed in a Nottinghamshire village. Nicholas McCaffery’s wife Aimi was jogging when she was knocked over and killed in May 2022 by a man who fell asleep at the wheel.
Mr McCaffery addressed Widdowson directly at the end of last month, explaining that he and most other people who drive regularly know what it is like to experience tiredness at the wheel. He said: “When that happens, we have a choice - pull over, take a break, set a timer on your phone and get a bit of rest, or keep going.
Moments before the collision, Widdowson had been caught on CCTV veering towards the wrong side of the carriageway as he drove along Radcliffe Road and towards Mrs McCaffery. He then failed to negotiate a slight left-hand bend in the road, mounted a kerb with two wheels and struck her at a speed of around 50mph.
He said: “Aimi has gone, she has been cruelly taken from us. It is a loss that myself and my children, as well as Aimi’s family and friends, will never get over.
