Laura
unfortunately died as a result of the accident. While her boyfriend Lewis was left with a head
injury and fractured vertebrae.
Speaking on the incident, Lewis said: “Laura and I were looking forward to
planning our wedding together – instead, I ended up planning her funeral.
“We had known each other since we were 13, and we were so
excited to spend the rest of our lives together.
“Laura had so much life to give; she had a heart of gold and
aimed to become a teacher for disabled children.
“It is devastating to discover that Glover had been looking
at dating sites when he hit our car – the crash was completely avoidable.
Our car had broken down and we had been forced to pull up on
to a grass verge.
"We were on our way to Aberystwyth for a week by the
sea and I had to put my hazard lights on and call my dad.
"One minute we were standing over the safety barrier on
the A5 then the next thing I remember is being on the floor in a heap of
rubble. I got up and looked over at Laura, she was in a bad way.
"I started performing CPR until paramedics took
over."
Laura's mum, Lisa, 45, said: "I makes me feel sick that
Groves killed my girl while looking at porn.
"He assessed sites such as 'Shagaholic.co.uk' and
'Sexuk.com' around 11 times in a less than a mile radius - why would someone be
looking at such sites while driving?
"Glover had enough time to look up and see Lewis's car
as he was distracted for around 19 seconds - if you close your eyes and count
to 19 you'll realise its such a long period of time not to look at the road.
"Losing Laura has left a gaping hole in our family, we
think about her every second of every day. The experience has been completely soul
destroying."
Laura was pronounced dead while being flown by air ambulance
to hospital.
Glover told police that he could not remember what had
happened before the crash but tests on three mobile phones found in his lorry
revealed he was looking at the dating sites.
