A ‘devastated’ family has paid tribute to their ‘beautiful’ daughter after she was killed in a crash in Lincolnshire. Jordan Allen, 23, and from Skegness died on November 6 in a collision involving one other vehicle, a silver Ford Kuga, on the A52 between Boston and Skegness.
Two weeks on, her family have spoken about the ‘vast hole’ the young woman’s death has left in their lives. In a statement published by Lincolnshire Police, they said: “We are broken and completely devastated over the loss of our beautiful daughter Jordan.
“It isn’t right and it isn’t fair and we are struggling to think of our lives without her in them. Jordan was everything to our family and a vast hole has been left where she should be and this will never be filled.”

They described her as someone who ‘wouldn’t think twice’ about helping others and as an ‘outstanding academic achiever’ who had a ‘promising career in law’ ahead of her. They added: “Jordan was looking ahead and planning a future with her childhood sweetheart she had been with for the last eight years.
“All of this has been taken away too soon.” The 23-year-old died at the scene, while a passenger in her Dacia Sandero was taken to hospital with injuries that were believed to be serious.
The driver and only occupant of the Ford Kuga was also injured and taken to hospital. The family continued: “So many people tried so hard to save our daughter on that dreadful evening and we would like to thank everyone that was on the scene trying to save her: the police, fire service, ambulance, air ambulance and the members of the public that were there looking after both of our daughters before the emergency services turned up.
“Finally, thank you for all the messages and comforting words of support we as a family have received, it still feels unreal and we are waiting to wake up from this awful nightmare. We love you Jord, always have and always will.”
