A husband who was having an affair died in a high-speed drink-driving crash while taking his secret mistress home after a date, an inquest has heard,
The man identified as Kadeel Newby, 23, a father of two kids was driving his Toyota Yaris at 101mph in a manner compared to The Stig when he ploughed into railings, catapulting himself and secret girlfriend Natasha Gregson out of the rear window.
He was taking Gregson home after a date when the tragic incident happened.
The woman revealed details of the affair after regaining consciousness. This week, Mr Newby's wife Korette, 26, was forced to listen to details of her husband's six-day relationship with Miss Gregson at an inquest into his death in Bolton, Greater Manchester.
During the hearing, the coroner heard how Mr and Mrs Newby - described as 'inseparable' - had married in 2011 and had two children, aged six and three. They honeymooned in Greece and enjoyed family trips to Egypt and America.
But last year the Newbys from Mossley, Greater Manchester began arguing with each other. The inquest heard how, in October last year, he began a relationship with Miss Gregson, who lives in Bolton.
In a statement, Miss Gregson - who was not at the Bolton hearing at the request of Mrs Newby - said Mr Newby had told her he was no longer with his wife.
She said: 'I had been seeing a lad called Kadeel Newby and he told me he was separated from his ex and had been for about five months and had two children. I don't normally go for guys with children.
'He always picked me up in his Toyota Yaris but he never wore his seatbelt, it was plugged in and he sat on it. I never drove, Kadeel always drove and it was just the two of us.'
'He drove like the Stig,' she said. 'At some points I wanted to tell him to stop. It was like the world was going to stop and he wanted to get there quick.'
The 2am tragedy occurred on Chorley New Road in Horwich on October 12 after Mr Newby had earlier picked up Miss Gregson to take her out for the evening in Manchester.

Her statement added: 'Kadeel picked me up at about 8:30pm, I can't remember what I was wearing at the time. I don't remember much after this other than I know we went into Manchester.
'I'd thrown my mobile phone into the car, shut my eyes and went to sleep. That was the first time I ever shut my eyes when I was with Kadeel. The next thing I remember I was in hospital. I suffered fractures to my head, two broken wrists and a laceration to my liver.
'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, a pharmacy technician, told the inquest she and her husband were 'inseparable'.
'We were young when we got together and married in 2011 after the birth of our son in 2010. We had our honeymoon in Greece which started Kadeel's love of travelling. We would talk about moving abroad,' she said.
'Kadeel was so close to our children, they had a special relationship. He would do thoughtful things like buy me a gift or write me a letter and leave it under my pillow.
'We had been bickering before Kadeel's death which was rare. He only met Natasha six days before the crash. I was told she was obsessed with him. When I contacted her she blocked me.
'Kadeel was coming home on the night of the crash as we arranged. 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.'
She added that her children were asking questions 'that no child should ever have to ask'.
'The last week of Kadeel's life was in no way typical of Kadeel's behaviour of our relationship. I don't want anyone to judge his 24 years of life based on that,' she said.
Tests showed Mr Newby had 113 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80mg. Kadeel was 23 years of age, he was a young man with a devoted wife and two young children - someone who had his life in front of him.
