A man has died following a suspected medical episode on Longmoor Lane this morning<\/p>\n
A man has died after suffering a suspected medical episode while driving. Merseyside Police<\/a> said officers were called to Longmoor Lane over reports that a beige Ford Mondeo had driven into a parked Mercedes in Fazakerley<\/a> at around 8am.<\/p>\n The crash caused minor damage but when emergency services arrived the driver, an 83-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers closed the road in both directions as first responders dealt with the incident and the scene has since been cleared<\/a>.<\/p>\n Police descended on the main road, with the road remaining closed for around two hours before the car was taken away.<\/p>\n The grey Mercedes had been parked near to Kirkdale<\/a> Cemetery at the time. A cordon was put in place before the westbound carriageway was reopened.<\/p>\n After the car was recovered by officers, the eastbound carriageway was reopened to traffic.<\/p>\n Detective Sergeant Simon Duffy said: \u201cOur thoughts are with the family of the man who has passed away and they are being supported by specially trained officers.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is initially believed that he suffered a medical episode, and that no other vehicle was involved in the incident apart from the parked car.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, we are carrying out enquiries to ensure this is the case, and we are investigating the circumstances of this collision.<\/p>\n \u201cWith this, I would appeal to people who were in the area this morning who may have witnessed this, or have dash camera footage of the incident to please contact us.\u201d<\/p>\n If you have any CCTV or dashcam footage or information about this incident, please contact Merseyside Police social media desk via X @MerPolCC or on Facebook<\/a> \u2018Merseyside Police Contact Centre\u2019.
