Tragedy struck in Italy as a devoted Liverpool fan, Philip Dooley, lost his life while attempting to cross the A4 motorway. Dooley, aged 51, had just arrived at Orio al Serio airport on Monday evening, after taking a Ryanair flight from Manchester. His intention was to attend the highly anticipated Champions League match between Liverpool and AC Milan, which was scheduled for Tuesday night.
According to reports, Dooley was hit by an SUV while standing in the third lane of the A4 motorway, which runs alongside the airport. This unfortunate incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday morning, around 1am. The Italian police have launched an investigation into the matter, trying to piece together what exactly happened.
It is believed that Dooley was trying to make his way to his hotel, unaware of a nearby underpass, when he decided to cross the busy motorway. However, he had no idea that there was a two-meter high fence blocking his path. A witness reported to the traffic police that two other individuals had also approached the A4, but ultimately decided against crossing.
As fate would have it, Liverpool was set to play against AC Milan on that very same evening, in the Champions League. A statement from the club expressed their deep sorrow over the tragic passing of their loyal fan, Philip Dooley. The statement also mentioned that their team in Milan was working closely with the local authorities and consulate to provide support to other fans affected by this heartbreaking incident.
The club also conveyed their heartfelt condolences to Dooley's family, friends, and fellow supporters during this difficult time. They ended the statement by saying, "Rest in peace, Philip." Meanwhile, Merseyside Police released a statement confirming that they were aware of the fatal collision that took place in Italy. They identified the victim as Philip Joseph Dooley, a resident of Liverpool, and informed his next of kin.
They also mentioned that two men who witnessed the incident were assisting the Italian police in their investigation. The loss of such a dedicated fan has shaken the Liverpool community, and their thoughts and prayers are with Dooley's loved ones. The club and the police are working together to gather more information about the accident and bring closure to this tragic event.
