A "vibrant" woman who was killed when she was hit by a car had a "great future ahead of her", according to one of her former colleagues.
Jennie Dowd, 31, was the victim of a hit and run in October 2020 when she was hit by Lucy Ashton's Ford Focus while cycling on Lunt Road, Sefton Village. The NHS project manager was left to die on the road as the 24-year-old care support worker drove off.
Ashton, of Lunt Road, was jailed last year for 12 months after admitting causing death by careless driving and failing to stop. Almost seven months on from the sentencing, Jennie's former colleagues have decided to raise money for charity in her name.
