James Peters, president of Twickenham Rugby Club, was on his way to pick up his wife Susan when he came across the wreckage of a crash in the street.
Not realising who it was he ran to the aid of the dying woman who had been knocked down just seconds earlier as she crossed the street.
It was only when another passer-by handed him a handbag that discovered the awful truth that it was the mother of his three children lying in the road.
"I didn't realise it was her for five, six even seven minutes," Mr Peters, who runs his own heating business, said.
"I had just stopped to help as I saw there had been an accident. Then another person who had stopped handed me a handbag and I recognised it. I couldn't believe it.
"It's no reassurance to me that I was there at her final moments, there's not much reassurance anywhere, I'm devastated. My wife was perfect."
Mr Peters, who had just celebrated his 40-year ruby wedding anniversary two days before the crash last Friday in Leatherhead, Surrey, was yesterday being comforted by his family.
