A Formby man who died from a heart attack following a fatal road traffic collision on Saturday has been named as Stephen McCambridge.

Mr McCambridge's family have paid tribute to the 54-year-old father-of-one and grandfather. The family of Stephen McCambridge have issued the following statement: “We as a family are completely devastated by the death of Stephen. "Stephen was a loving husband, father and more recently a grandfather. "He was a well-respected kind, caring, loving man who doted on his family."

A 55-year-old man driving a black Land Rover Freelander was killed in the crash which happened at the Cross Green roundabout outside Express Dry Cleaners at the junction with Liverpool Road, Formby on Saturday night.

The driver was taken to Southport Hospital but died a short time later.

Police confirmed a 19 year-old man from Southport arrested on suspicion of manslaughter has been released on bail.

A Home Office post mortem has been carried out and has concluded that the 54-year-old driver of the car died as a result of a heart attack.

Officers are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision to contact Sefton CID on 0151 777 3055, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Flowers and handwritten notes have been placed next to the temporary barriers that were erected at the scene.

A card left with the bouquet read: “Thinking of you at this sad time. Lots of love.”

Merseyside Police said they believe the man may have been arguing with “someone known to him” shortly before the accident.

A police spokesman said officers “believe that the man who died may have been involved in an earlier argument with someone known to him shortly before, at the junction of Cross Green and Altcar Road, before returning to his car and driving off”.

Police were also investigating a scene a few hundred meters away from the crash scene at the junction of Altcar Road and Church Road.

The police cordon cut off an area between Rose Path and Cross Green Close.

Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident and officers are appealing to anyone with information about the collision to contact Sefton CID on 0151 777 3055.
