A British mother-of-four tragically died in her husband's arms following a horrifying collision between a jet ski and a speedboat on a beach in Spain's Costa del Sol. Debra Wright, 47, was enjoying a jet ski ride with her husband Chris when the pair were involved in the crash on Saturday evening at Los Toros beach in Manilva, just west of Estepona. The speedboat was allegedly operated by a friend of the couple, who reportedly failed a breath test after the incident. Chris, 52, chairman of Ashton Town FC, swam to his wife in the aftermath of the horror crash and held her in his arms as she sadly died. Debra, a primary school teaching assistant, was described by her devastated husband as "the glue" of the family, reports the Mirror . Paying tribute, Chris said: "My darling wife was a 47-year-old mother of four wonderful sons, Stuart, Jack, Josh and Leon and a nanny to seven beautiful grandchildren. "She was an incredible sister and doting daughter. She was our compass, the glue to bind the family, an amazing woman whose glow would fill any room. She was so enigmatic, inspirational and loving. Our family will never be the same." In a heart-wrenching tribute posted to Facebook, Debra's son, Stuart McDonald, said: "MUM... I never knew how much I needed someone until now, I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you just how much I loved you every single day. "You meant the world to me. You know I was never one for a Facebook post, but this is just for you. Sleep tight Mum, I miss you so much. Life will never be the same without you." In another post, Debra's son Leon Wright paid tribute, saying: "Words can't describe how much I'm missing you right now. You were the life and soul of every party, I am so happy to be called your son and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to be my mum." The couple were on the jet ski when it was hit from behind off Los Toros beach, according to a police source. Spanish court officials stated that the speedboat driver was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and an alcohol-related offence after failing a breath test. Local outlets, including Diario Sur, reported that the breath test reading was not particularly high. Following a private court hearing on Sunday, the man was reportedly released, with the investigation still underway. He remains unnamed and has not been formally charged with any offence. Ashton Town FC, based in Greater Manchester and competing in the North West Counties League Division One North, released a statement on Monday: "It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that on behalf of Ashton Town FC we announce the tragic death of Debra Wright, the wife of Chris our Chairman who was tragically killed whilst on holiday in Spain on Saturday evening. "Our family are in mourning at this sad time and we ask for time for Chris and his family and everyone at the club to be able to start to come to terms with this tragedy. "RIP Debra, fly high sweetheart x."
