A couple on their way to a Father's Day celebration were killed when the car they were travelling in drove directly into the path of an oncoming car.
Marie and Alfred Grugel, from Kirkby, were on their way to a pub lunch when their Vauxhall Corsa collided with a Ford Mondeo on the Rainford bypass, at the junction with St Helen's Road, at around 12.50pm on June 20 2021.
Marie, 57, suffered multiple serious injuries and died at the scene. Her husband Alfred, 62, suffered a traumatic brain injury and was taken to The Walton Centre in Fazakerley, where he died on July 10, 2021.
