We are appealing for information following a fatal road traffic collision in St Helens in the early hours of this morning, Thursday 11 August.
At around 2am, emergency services were called to Scafell Road to reports of a collision involving a Renault Megane and a tree. A man in his 20s was found and sadly died a short time later. His next of kin have been informed and enquiries remain ongoing at the scene.
