A talented young Liverpool chef who was tragically killed in a Mother's Day crash has been described as a "joyous character" by his boss who was about to promote him.
25-year-old Oliver Fitchett, known as Ollie, died when his blue Ford Focus was involved in a crash on Speke Boulevard just before midnight on Sunday. He had been travelling back from celebrating Mother's Day and had just dropped family members off before the fatal crash. It is understood his car crashed into the central reservation before a collision with a black Mercedes car.
Ollie, from Old Swan, was a rising star of the culinary world and had been working at prestigious Liverpool restaurant The Art School for two years under the watchful eye of Chef Patron Paul Askew, who today paid tribute to "a massively loved guy with the world at his feet."
