Appeal after Southport pensioner involved in two car crashes in same day

Merseyside Police is appealing for witnesses after a car was involved in a collision with a van in Southport on Saturday (20 August 2016).

At 3.20pm, emergency services attended the junction of Cambridge Road and Park Crescent where a 75-year-old male driver was released from a blue Jaguar X-Type after it was in a collision with a yellow Ford Transit van and two bollards. He was taken to hospital after he was believed to have suffered a medical episode and his condition is described as serious, but stable.

Earlier the same day, a report was received at about 12.30pm that the Jaguar car had been in a minor collision with a parked vehicle on Emmanuel Road. No one was injured in that incident.

Anyone with any information about the incidents, or anyone who may have seen the blue Jaguar X-Type being driven in Southport on Saturday, is asked to contact the Matrix Roads Policing Unit on 0151 777 5747, quoting reference number 0516191159. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
