"It’s a horrible situation to be in.

"It has been a devastating time for Jake’s family.

"His death is still so raw for everyone involved.

“With time it’s hoped they can come together and mourn their loss.

"But for now it is a fractured relationship.”

Yazmin, 28, told The Sun she had to deliberately break her arm to get free from their overturned car and look for help, hoping 33-year-old Jake might still be alive.

She said: “There are stories we were arguing. It’s like, ‘how can you say that?’.

"There were two people in the car. Unfortunately my partner did not make it. I just don’t want people to think we were arguing.
