In the days since they died, hundreds of online tributes have been left to the two young men, who were both from Sheffield.

And when South Yorkshire Police formally confirmed Jordan’s death yesterday, Facebook was once again awash with tributes to him.

Mia Valentine said: “Rest in peace Codeye. We love you – always in our hearts.”

Stuart Knott said: “Rip young man, yet another taken too early. Sleep tight.”

Sharon Noble Smith said: “Totally devastating and sad. RIP young men and deepest condolences to both families and friends of the young men taken far too soon.”

And Stephen Charles Prigmore said: “RIP Jordan. Bless you and condolences to all the family.”

Police are still asking any witnesses to the collision, or anyone who witnessed the Golf prior to the incident, to get in touch.

They are especially keen to hear from anyone with dash cam footage which captured the vehicle travelling along the M1 between 7pm and 7.29pm.
