A mum and son are lucky to be alive after a car almost hit them while they were walking along a main road.
Rebecca Lloyd was out with her 13-year-old son Owen at around 9.30pm on Sunday, July 17. when she suddenly heard a loud revving sound from behind her as they walked along Hall Lane, in Maghull. As she turned around she saw a Volvo XC60 driving towards her along the pavement of Liverpool Road South.
Instinctively, the mum-of-one hurled her son into a bush before jumping out of the way of the car in a narrow brush with death. As the car drove off, she rang her husband, Adam, sent her son home and decided to follow the car before it pulled up outside the Meadows pub.
