Two people charged following road collision in Litherland

Two people have been charged with perverting the course of justice following a road traffic collision in Litherland.

On the evening of 11 August, police were called to a collision on Ranelagh Avenue involving a Ford Fiesta and a stationary vehicle. No injuries reported.

At the scene, a man told officers that he had been driving the Ford Fiesta at the time of the collision, a claim that was corroborated by a woman.

However, subsequent enquiries found that the Ford Fiesta had in fact been driven by a woman.

Owen Campbell, 24, of Seafield Avenue, Crosby, and Libbie Smith, 20, of Richmond Avenue, Litherland, have both been charged with perverting the course of justice.

Smith has also been charged with driving without due care and attention.

Both are due to appear at South Sefton Magistrates Court on Wednesday 2 December.
