Officers arrested a 24-year-old man, also from Liverpool, who was driving the car. He is in custody and will be interviewed by detectives later today.
Road closures were put in place last night but have now reopened.
Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson, the Lead Investigating Officer from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “Our thoughts and condolences are with the family of the man who sadly lost his life following the collision yesterday evening. His family have been informed and are being supported by our specially trained family liaison officers.
“We have launched an investigation into the man’s death and it’s now a priority for us to get answers on how the collision occurred and my team are working to establish key facts.
“Although a man has been arrested in connection with this incident, I would urgently appeal to anyone who witnessed it to please contact us. Any information no matter how small could be vital to our investigation, so please get in touch.
"I would also ask motorists to please check your dashcam footage to urgently review it if you were driving in the area last night. These devices can often capture key evidence in the moments leading up to the collision without the driver of the vehicle being aware. Any help we receive, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could assist our investigation.”
