However, he [[DeadlyRoadTrip gets into a car accident]] while riding the taxi back to the airport to pick up luggage he left behind. When he awakes in hospital, he leaves to find his wife.

** Arguably averted. The villains want to make Martin seem crazy in the eyes of the police, and so (as Cole says in the carpark before trying to make Martin overdose) want his death to look accidental. There's always the risk if they just shoot him that the police may become suspicious as to why Martin was murdered shortly after telling such an incredible and unlikely story, and investigate further.
