Liverpool City Council has committed to fully co-operating with an investigation into an incident on Queens Drive on Saturday 26 August, which tragically led to the deaths of two people.
The Coroner has asked Merseyside Police to look into the circumstances leading up to the fatalities, which happened late at night when Elaine and Philip Marco’s car became submerged in flood water.
Merseyside Police were called to the scene at around 9.20pm and Council officers from the Highways department and City Watch staff also responded.
The Council is now working with other agencies to determine what happened and why, and to take any appropriate action.
The road remains closed and motorists are asked to continue to avoid the area.
