Appeal for information following fatal road traffic collision in Knotty Ash

We are appealing for information following a fatal road traffic collision in Knotty Ash in the early hours of this morning, Monday 26 April.

At around 12.15am, emergency services were called to East Prescot Road, close to the Greyhound Pub, to reports of a collision involving a BMW colliding with the roundabout. 

Three people, a man in his 20s, a woman in her 20s, and a man in his 30s, were all taken to hospital by ambulance and all have sadly passed away.

Their families have been informed and an investigation continues at the scene, including CCTV, witness and forensic enquiries. A road closure is in place between the junction of Eaton Road and East Prescot Road to Blackmoor Drive. The roundabout is closed in all directions.

Diversions are in place and we would ask motorists to take an alternative route.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or captured anything on CCTV or dashcam is asked to contact (0151) 7775747, or via @MerPolCC on Twitter or ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ on Facebook, with reference 21000264565.
