Zamarod Arif, 26, said she “felt every drop” as the car flew through the air and onto railway tracks after it veered off the road next to Park Royal train station in London at speeds of up to 100mph in the early hours of this morning. Monday. Ms Arif, who was the front seat passenger and the only one wearing a seat belt, described the crash as “like a tsunami” because she was thrown around the interior of the Range Rover. She recalled how one of the first people at the crash site told her to say a prayer as he didn’t think she would make it out alive.

The driver Rida Al Mousawi was also thrown from the car and seriously injured. He remains in a coma at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London. Speaking to MailOnline, Ms Arif recalled that neither Ms Ozden nor Mr Al Mousawi listened to her when she told them to fasten their seat belts. Moments before the crash, Ms Arif said she and Ms Ozden had pleaded with the driver to slow down. “Rida liked to drive fast and he likes to tease people when he’s in the car. We were going so fast as soon as we left the Wish Lounge,” Ms Arif said. “When we got onto the A40 I told Rida to slow down. We stopped at a red light next to the BP garage and then Rida started speeding. It just kept going faster. I told him to slow down and touched his hand. Youngmoor was also telling him to slow down. “She had a previous bad experience and she didn’t like going fast. We were both scared.” Ms Arif said she was conscious during the crash and ‘felt every drop’ (Getty Images) Just before they left the road, Ms Ozden “yelled that there was something on the road”, which led to Mr Al Mousawi swerving the car and losing control. The beautician suffered a broken leg and a broken arm in the collision, but avoided any serious injuries. Describing the crash, he said: “I was in the car conscious the whole time. I felt every drop. I felt everything. I had watched the movie Tsunami (The Impossible) three days before with Yagmur and there was a girl who was hit by the tsunami. “The water was hitting her left right and center and it felt like that. It was the worst experience of my life. I’m so lucky to be alive.” Lying on the track after the crash, Ms Arif could see Mr Al Mousawi on the stand, alive and breathing heavily. He was unable to see Mrs Ozden and later discovered she had died. Mrs Ozden’s family described her as “an angel” who was “very funny and could cheer up the saddest person”. In a tribute, her family said: “She had an amazing bond with her daughter and her daughter will always cherish those moments she had with her mum.”
