SOLVED. An English radio host should've died, meets an american soldier and a litt teacher that also should've died [s]

Takes place in England,they travel to Wales at some point. I remember that for some reason these people meet because they were supposed to die but they didn't. The main guy is a radio host, there was a huge traffic accident on a bridge and he didn't die. The american soldier seems a bit simple in the head, and he was in the Middle-East, I think, when one of his comrade stepped on a grenade or something, everybody died but him. The woman is older than the main guy, smokes a lot, hates people. She was, if I'm not mistaken, at a convention in a hotel, went out in the middleof the night to buy a cigarette pack, and when she came back the hotel was on fire. HELP ME MY BRAIN HURTS.
