The devastated mother of Jake McLean has claimed that her son was a ‘skilled driver’ who could have been distracted, causing the car crash that killed him and injured his girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou.
Anita Walsh told prosecutors in Bodrum that Jake, 33 would not have lost control of the car as it flew off a bend on a mountainous road in the early hours of Sunday morning because of his driving expertise.
Anita raised her concerns with Turkish prosecutors who are investigating the crash in which Yazmin, 28 was left with an injured arm.
An Assistant Prosecutor who cannot be named under Turkish Law told MailOnline: ‘We have spoken with Jake’s mother and she has told us that something was going on in the car that distracted him.
‘She does not believe that this accident was caused by his poor driving. She said that he is a very skilled and experienced driver and would not have lost control of the car like this.’
Prosecutors plan to speak to Anita in further detail over the coming days as they attempt to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the crash.
