A joyrider who mowed down famous "Litherland Running Man" David Francis in a late-night hit-and-run cut his hair to disguise himself after his picture appeared in an ECHO appeal.
Lewis Wright, 17, told police he got a haircut because he didn't want people to know who he was after his image was published in connection with the incident, which took place just after 9pm on April 13 2023.
Wright, of Howard Florey Avenue, Netherton, was driving a stolen Audi S8 between 54 and 62mph in a 20 zone when he lost control and ploughed into Mr Francis at the roundabout at the bottom of The Marian Way, Netherton.
