Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with CCTV and dash camera footage that may have captured the incident to come forward.

Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson from the Matrix Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “A 40-year-old man from Wirral remains in hospital following this incident whilst our officers continue their inquiries to establish what happened. Our investigation is in the early stages and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed this collision to please get in touch.

"We know that the Red Fox pub and function suite were busy and that due to the nice weather, there were plenty of people in the area. In addition, I would ask for anyone with CCTV or dash cameras to please check to see if they captured the incident. Every piece of information is important to help us establish what happened”.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information is asked to call our Matrix Roads Policing Unit on (0151) 777 5747, email SCIU@merseyside.police.uk, or DM @MerPolCC on Twitter quoting reference 23000480201.
