Moment husband allegedly tries to kill wife, himself in deliberate head-on car crash

Chilling video shows the moment a man allegedly tries to kill wife and himself in a deliberate head-on car crash.

A chilling video captured the moment a US man allegedly tried to kill his wife and himself by crashing head-on into another car, according to authorities and footage.

Dashcam footage from a passer-by driver showed one car, occupied by Andersen Singleton and his wife, slamming into a car with another driver and passenger — causing a loud crash sound, according to the clip obtained by North Carolina TV station, CBS 17.

The head-on car collision occurred at 6.55am local time on Saturday, the Raleigh Police Department said, per the outlet.

Passengers in both cars suffered severe but not life-threatening injuries, while Singleton and the other driver made it out without being seriously scathed.

The two men in the other car were Candido Montero Valdiviezo and Nelson Perez Lopez of Selma, in Alabama.

Passerby Jorge Bravo, who captured the dashcam footage, had rushed to help the injured group of people, the outlet reported.

Singleton, 33, from North Carolina, allegedly told Bravo the crash was not an accident, but an attempt to kill himself and his wife.

“He was like, ‘Oh, that’s not an accident. I was trying to kill my wife and myself. We were fighting each other. We’re trying to kill each other.’ We’re definitely on the psych ward,” Bravo told CBS 17.

“And I thought that was a very interesting thing for him to just kind of blurt out nervous and he was just, like, confessing all this,” he said.

After Singleton allegedly made the chilling remarks, Bravo noticed his wife beside him.

“I noticed the passenger side, a woman on the black sedan kind of just falls out of the passenger door and just kind of just lays there,” Bravo said.

A paramedic drove by and was able to help the wounded before other medics arrived, according to Bravo.

Singleton faces two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, causing serious injuries, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, careless and reckless driving, and driving left of centre, records indicate.

He also faces domestic violence assault, stalking, and making threats charges, and was told during a Monday arraignment to stay away from his wife, the outlet reported.

Singleton was denied bond at his arraignment.
