Yazmin Oukhellou ‘stable and recovering in hospital after surgery’ and will be ‘quizzed by police’ over fatal crash
YAZMIN Oukhellou is "stable and recovering" in hospital after a horror car crash that killed Jake McLean, according to reports.
The Towie star, 28, suffered a serious arm injury in the fatal smash in Turkey at the weekend.
A source told the : "Yazmin is stable and recovering in hospital after surgery. Yazmin and her family have requested privacy at this time."
Local news outlet reported that police will speak to Yazmin about the incident once she is well enough.
An autopsy will also test driver Jake's blood for alcohol.
Last night we revealed the pair had a blazing nightclub row minutes before their horror crash.
The couple were seen engaged in a “furious argument” around 3am in the Turkish hotspot of Bodrum before heading off into the night.
Tragically their car careered from the road off a cliff before flipping.
The winding road between Bodrum and the nearby village of Yalikavak is notorious for road accidents.
It is said to be busy at night time as revellers travel to and from the party town.
A local petrol station worker told the Mail: "There are a lot of bends in this road and it can be very dangerous. We get a lot of tourists here who hire their own cars and sadly, a lot of accidents happen during the summer months."
Jake, 33, was killed at the scene while Yazmin, 28, was raced to hospital with “serious injuries to her arm”.
A source said: “Jake and Yazmin were locked in a furious argument in the club in front of everyone. Things got extremely heated quickly but they ended up leaving the venue together.
“They got into their car straight from the venue - it’s all so tragic. Everyone is praying Yazmin makes some sort of recovery.”
