Police have arrested a man over a hit and run death in Fazakerley.
An 81-year-old female pedestrian was struck during a collision on Longmoor Lane close to its junction of Third Avenue at 4.15pm on Friday (December 5).
The victim, who has now been formally identified as Margaret Perry, suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital where she sadly passed away.

A 69-year-old man from the local area has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Saidi said: “Our thoughts remain with Margaret’s family as they continue to grieve this tragic loss.
“Although someone has now been arrested, we continue to appeal for anyone with information to come forward.
“We ask motorists who were in the area at around 4.15pm on Friday or immediately after the collision to please check your dashcam footage (front and rear) for any vital evidence which may help with our enquiries.
“Any help we receive, no matter how insignificant it may seem may help.
“Our priority is to ensure that we get answers for Margaret’s family. Any information, however insignificant it may seem, would be greatly appreciated.”
