Man died in 90mph horror crash into house after accusing partner of cheating

A man died after crashing his car into a home following an argument with his partner, an inquest has heard.

Lukasz Cuipak drove at speed into the house in a sleepy village days after he made allegations of infidelity towards his girlfriend during a blazing row.

On Monday, January 18, Mr Cuipak got into an argument with his partner, accusing her of cheating before putting his hand on her throat.

The couple had moved from Poland to the UK in October 2020 before the fight took place on Friday January 22.

The 34-year-old’s face was scratched by his girlfriend in self-defence a court heard this week into the inquest into Lukasz’s death.

He lived on De Grey Street, in Hull with his housemates, who described him as “reserved” but “clearly having issues with mental health”, particularly during the latter days of his life.

Hull Coroner’s Court heard how a few days after the fight with his partner, on Friday, 22 January, Mr Cuipak was seen on CCTV footage driving in and out of Leven, East Yorkshire, six times.

At around 9pm, residents reported hearing a “loud rumble” that sounded like an “earthquake”. They did not hear any screeching sounds of brakes, nor skidding.

When residents went out to see what had happened, they saw a silver Renault Scenic car on its side against the garden wall of a home, with an unconscious man inside.

Paramedics arrived and he was declared dead at the scene, according to Hull Daily Mail.

PC Sean Hutchinson from Humberside Police said Mr Cuipak was driving at 90mph in a 30mph zone when he hit a residential building.

He also confirmed that after checks on the car, it was confirmed that there were no brake failures or other distractions that could have caused the accident.

Coroner Lorraine Harris said from the toxicology report, it was clear that Mr Cuipak was neither under the influence of drugs, nor drugs when the accident occurred.

He had a small trace of amphetamine and THC in his blood, but the level was very low and would not have had an impact on him.
