A man has died after being hit by a car in Maghull last month.

Emergency services were called to Station Road, at the junction with Tailors Lane, just before 7am on Wednesday 22 October after reports of a collision involving a black Range Rover Velar and a 51-year-old man.

The pedestrian, who is from Maghull, was taken to hospital with serious injuries but died on Friday 7 November.

A 64-year-old woman was arrested at the scene - she remains under investigation on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and driving whilst unfit.

In a tribute, the man's family said:

"As a family, we are devastated by the tragic loss of life, following being hit by a car, on his regular walking journey to Maghull Station and work.

"Forever in our hearts"

"We are heartbroken that his life has been cut short and we have lost a brother, uncle, nephew and good friend. Forever in our hearts.

"If anyone can please help with any information relating to the incident on Wednesday 22 October 2025 at 6.53am at the junction of Station Road and Tailors Lane, please contact the police."
