A woman who was divorcing her husband when he died is trying to claim over £675,000 in damages because she claims she still loved him, the High Court has heard.

The case brought by Cathryn Craven hinges on whether there was a substantial chance of reconciliation with Jayson, her husband of 12 years, who was killed by a speeding driver

Mr Craven died instantly when he was struck by a car as he crossed Fletchamstead Highway in Coventry in the early hours in June 2014.

Driver Terry Davies, who was travelling at 86mph in a 40mph zone, was later found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving and jailed for four years.

At the time of the 48-year-old's death, the couple were in a "cooling off period" between decree nisi pronouncement and decree absolute.
