A man who died after being struck by a lorry on the M1 was the husband of a woman found with fatal injuries at a house on the same day.
Vincent Nagle, 44, from the village of Borrowash near Derby, was hit on motorway on Friday morning.
His wife Claire Nagle, 38, died in hospital after being found at a property in the village.
Police were alerted to her location at around 11am by a third person - a 22-year-old man who needed hospital treatment for head injuries.
Half an hour later, Mr Nagle was killed on the M1 between junctions 26 and 25, near Trowell Services.
The incident closed both carriageways of the motorway.
Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. Inquests will open on Tuesday.
Ms Nagle's family paid tribute to a "much loved, beautiful and vibrant mother, daughter and sister" in a statement released to police.
Her father, Martin Paton, said: "We believe this was a tragic incident for everyone involved and their families.
"We don't want to apportion any blame and wish to be left alone to grieve as a family."
