Edmund Hillary's first wife did not die in a car crash, it was a plane crash.

In 1975 while en route to join Hillary in the village of Phaphlu, where he was helping to build a hospital, Louise (wife) and Belinda (daughter) were killed in a plane crash near Kathmandu airport shortly after take-off.
