A grandad died on Christmas Eve four days after he was knocked down in a pub car park when he stepped out from behind a large Christmas tree.
Keith Duckworth, 65, was hit by a slow-moving silver Ford Focus in the car park of the Coach and Horses in Maghull at around 6.40pm on December 20, 2018. He fell backwards and struck his head on the pavement.
He was taken to Aintree University Hospital, where a CT scan revealed he had suffered a skull fracture and bleeding around the brain. He was taken to The Walton Centre in Fazakerley for further monitoring and treatment, however, his condition worsened and he died on December 24 of multi-organ failure caused by multiple injuries.
