Appeal After Man Suffers Serious Injuries In Liverpool

Police are appealing for information after an 83-year-old man suffered serious injuries on his driveway in Liverpool on Sunday.

Officers believe the gentleman was working on his car, a Chevrolet Lacetti estate, when he suffered multiple injuries on Twickenham Drive, Leasowe.

Neighbours and passers-by found him on the road at the end of his drive, with his car, at about 2.35pm, and he was taken to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

His condition is described as critical, but stable.

Sergeant Craig O'Brien, said: "We believe that the gentleman had been working on his car. He suffered multiple injuries, which we believe were caused as a result of a collision with his own car, and we are trying to establish what happened.

"At this stage there is nothing to suggest anything criminal, but we would like to speak to anyone who may have any information so that we can establish what happened."
