Four men killed in Huyton crash on Liverpool Road
Four men aged 23, 23, 24 and 26 died after a black Seat Cupra hit a lamppost on Liverpool Road in Huyton just before 2am.
Four men died when a black Seat Cupra left Liverpool Road in Huyton and hit a lamppost just before 2am, prompting a major emergency response and widespread road closures across the area.
Merseyside Police said the car had been travelling from Liverpool towards Knowsley when it came off the road. Two of the men were 23, one was 24 and one was 26, and all four were pronounced dead at the scene. Police also said a pedestrian sustained serious injuries, while the car stopped at the scene.
Emergency services attended Liverpool Road as officers dealt with a large scene in Huyton. Police said a closure was in place in both directions between junction 2 of the M57 and Blue Bell Lane, and multiple roads in the town were also shut after the collision. The disruption affected a key route linking Liverpool and Knowsley.
The crash happened in the early hours, when the road was quiet but response crews and closures still brought the local network to a halt. The scale of the cordon left drivers facing diversions across Huyton while police worked at the roadside.
Merseyside Police have appealed for information after the serious collision. The force has not yet set out a public explanation for how the Seat Cupra left the carriageway, and the investigation now turns on witnesses, vehicle movement and the moments before the impact.
