A boy has been in hospital for four days after being hit by a car in Liscard. The 17 year-old boy was cycling on Seaview Road in Liscard on Thursday, April 23, at around 5pm when the crash happened.
When the ECHO visited Seaview Road just before 7pm on April 23, one police car was parked up on the corner of Earlston Road and a blue Nissan was being taken away on a truck. An air ambulance landed on a field nearby next to Wallasey Cemetery.
Two residents on Earlston Road said the crash happened on their doorstep. A man said: “A young lad on a bike was hit by a car. That’s all we know.” A woman added: “This was about 5.55pm.
“We stayed with him. It wasn’t very nice. He didn’t go in the air ambulance, just the standard ambulance.”
Other neighbours expressed their concerns. One man said: “I got home from work at about 5pm. At about 6pm I saw people crowded around a person in the road. There were three police cars and two ambulances.”
Another man added: “A cyclist got hit. The air ambulance landed in the park. It looked pretty bad.”
Last Friday, a Merseyside Police spokesperson said the boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the car, a 58-year-old woman from Liscard, was arrested on suspicion of drug driving and causing serious injury by careless driving.
In an update today, the force said the boy is still in hospital in a stable condition after he sustained serious injuries to his leg and pelvis. The 58 year-old woman has been released under investigation.
