My wife lived for her family, says heartbroken husband of crash victim Lorraine Clyde
The heartbroken husband of mother-of-five Lorraine Clyde has told how she 'lived for her family'.
William Clyde told of his devastation after his “first girlfriend and wife” was killed in a collision outside Randalstown on Monday morning.
Michelle McStravick, 35, from Randalstown - who had a teenage daughter - died along with 56-year-old Mrs Clyde, who was from the Antrim area, following the incident on the Church Road shortly before 8am.
Both women were care assistants.
Mrs Clyde was well-known as a patrol lady for St Comgall’s Primary School in Antrim.
The pair had been travelling in a grey coloured Citroen C1 car which was in collision with a silver coloured Ford Focus at the Moneyrod Road junction.
A man and woman travelling in the second car sustained non-life threatening injuries.
Mr Clyde told the News Letter he had known his late wife “more than half my life”.
“She was the first and only steady girl friend I had - and then I married her,” he added.
“She was a genuinely great woman who put family first. And she was so proud of them all.”
