A cheating husband died in a 101mph drink driving crash while taking his secret mistress home after a date, an inquest heard.

Father-of-two Kadeel Newby lost control of his Toyota Yaris on a bridge while driving without a seat belt at high speed.

Seconds later, the car ploughed into railings, catapulting the 23-year-old and Natasha Gregson out of the rear window.

Miss Gregson, 23, survived, but was left with a fractured skull and a laceration to her liver.

Mr Newby, from Mossley, Tameside, died in hospital from multiple injuries following the smash on Chorley New Road in Horwich, Bolton on October 12 last year at around 2am.

Blood tests showed he was one-and-a-half times over the legal drink driving limit.

The affair emerged when Miss Gregson regained consciousness.

Mr Newby’s wife Korette, 26, listened as details of her husband’s six-day relationship with Miss Gregson were revealed at an inquest into his death.

The couple - who were said to have been ‘inseparable’ - married in 2011 and had two young sons.

But last year, Mr Newby, who worked as a mechanic, began a relationship with Miss Gregson, who lives in Bolton.

In a statement, Miss Gregson, who was not at the inquest at Mrs Newby’s request, said Mr Newby told he had been separated from his wife for five months when they met.

She said Mr Newby ‘never wore his seat belt’ and often drove ‘erratically’.

Miss Gregson said: “It was like the world was going to stop and he wanted to get there quick.”

The pair had been out on a date in Manchester before the crash.

Miss Gregson said she went to sleep as Mr Newby drove her home, adding: “The next thing I remember I was in hospital.

“I have been told about the accident but I don’t remember it at all. I was told that he was married but I didn’t know that.”

Mrs Newby told the inquest she had been arguing with her husband before the tragedy and that he met Miss Gregson six days before the crash.

She said: “I still can’t believe he’s gone and don’t know how I will ever get over this. We were each other’s world, inseparable really.”

PC David Poole told the inquest Mr Newby’s average speed leading up to the crash was 101mph - and that there was no evidence of emergency breaking.

Recording a conclusion of death by road traffic collision, Coroner Alan Walsh, said Mr Newby ‘had his life in front of him’.

He added: “My greatest thoughts are to Kadeel’s children, two boys who adored their father who no longer have their father and that’s the greatest cost.”
