Grandfather dies after being struck by car while walking to store, family mourns loss.
John Furness, a 71-year-old grandfather, was walking to the local shop to buy a lottery ticket when tragedy struck. He was hit by a car at the intersection of Rathbone Road and Wellington Road in Wavertree, Liverpool on Friday, November 22. The car, a Toyota Prius, collided with him and despite being so close to his home, John could not overcome the injuries and passed away a few days later.

His family, still reeling from the shock and pain, shared their heartfelt tribute through Merseyside Police. They remembered John as a loving father and a hero. He was a man who loved adventure and the great outdoors, often making unforgettable memories with his grandchildren in Wales. John was cherished by all who knew him and his sudden absence has left a void in their hearts.

The family also mentioned how their father was taken off the ventilator after a week, a difficult decision to make but one that was necessary. Despite their immense loss, they found comfort in knowing that John's memory will live on forever in their hearts. They were touched by the outpouring of love and support from family and friends during this difficult time. They also expressed their gratitude to Gill, who provided care to their father in his final days.

DC Simon Duffy, who was involved in the case, expressed his condolences to John's family and assured them of support from a specially trained officer. The investigation into the accident is still ongoing and the police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision or have any information to come forward. Finding answers for the family is a top priority and any help would be greatly appreciated.
