Girl, 3, killed on motorway was coming home from family day out

A three-year-old girl killed in a motorway crash was on her way home from a family day out. Faye Dawson had enjoyed a "lovely day trip in Blackpool" and was being driven back when the tragedy happened on the M6.

Faye, from Wallasey on the Wirral in Merseyside, died when her mum Beth's Vauxhall Meriva was involved in a crash with a Porsche Boxster driven by a 79-year-old man, who also died, on the southbound carriageway of the M6 near Leyland on Saturday, November 19. Police believe the Porsche Boxter was travelling the wrong way on the motorway, having joined at junction 28.

Now a crowdfunding appeal has been launched to help Beth and her family raise money to cover costs. A GoFundMe page says Beth and partner were also hurt in the collision, the Liverpool Echo reports.
