A BEAUTICIAN has told of the horror moment when a car she was travelling in smashed through a wall in a high speed crash – killing her best friend.
Zamarod Arif, 26, survived the terrifying A40 crash which saw the Range Rover somersault onto the tracks of Park Royal railway station.
But her best friend Yagmur Ozden, 33, died in the crash when she was ejected from the back passenger seat as the 4×4 slammed into a Tesla Centre charging centre.
Now Zamarod, who had been in the front seat with her seatbelt on, has bravely spoken out about her “miracle escape”.
Speaking to MailOnline she said: “I was in the car conscious all the time. I felt every tumble. I felt everything. I had watched the Tsunami movie (The Impossible) three days before with Yagmur and there was a girl being hit by the Tsunami. Water was hitting her left right and centre and it felt like that. It was the worst experience of my life.
“I am so lucky to be alive.”

Zamarod and Yagmur were friends who worked together in the beauty business.
They had been getting a lift the Range Rover with Rida Al Mousawi after Yagmur’s car battery died.
Zamarod suffered a broken leg and broken arm in the crash – Rida remains in a coma.
Zamarod continued: “I was conscious the whole time when the train ended up on the track.
“I was in a lot of pain and just waited for ambulance people to come. Someone came to the car and said I should say a prayer as I was not going to survive. I could not move as my leg was trapped.”
She added: “Yag was my best friend and my heart is just breaking. I know I am lucky to be alive and I hope Rida makes a full recovery. I am so sad, my heart is breaking.”
Yagmur, who leaves behind a 12-year-old daughter, was described as “an angel” in tributes from her family.
They added: “She had an amazing bond with her daughter and her daughter will always cherish those moments she had with her mum.
“She was very funny and could cheer up the saddest person instantly, putting them in a better mood.”
It comes after a terrified Uber driver revealed the moment he nearly died in the smash.
Nawaf Ali, 40, had just parked his own Tesla when a black Range Rover smashed through carpark railings off the A40 at 120mph yesterday.
The 4×4 hit another Tesla parked inches away from Nawaf’s – before speeding behind the parking area and onto railway tracks at Park Royal station in West London.
Witness Nawaf relived the terrifying crash which he dubbed “something out of a horror movie”.

The dad debated parking next to the Tesla that was hit – but ultimately ended up parking a few spots away in a move that likely saved his life.
Nawaf said: “I could have died, and my kids would not have a father.”
