Tragedy struck on Thursday morning as two young pilots, Jamie Fernandes and Matt Greenhalgh, lost their lives in a devastating crash on the M62. Jamie, a 24-year-old Senior First Officer, was travelling in a taxi with his colleague, 28-year-old Captain Matt Greenhalgh, on their way to Liverpool John Lennon Airport. However, their journey ended tragically when their taxi collided with two lorries on the motorway.

The incident occurred around 5:30am, just 10 miles away from the airport. Emergency services were quick to respond, but despite their efforts, Jamie and Matt were pronounced dead at the scene. The taxi driver, who remains unnamed, sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital.

In the wake of this terrible event, the driver of one of the lorries, a 61-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving. The families of both Jamie and Matt are receiving support from specialist officers, according to Cheshire Police.

The police are now appealing to anyone with information or dash camera footage of the incident to come forward and assist with their investigation. They can contact the force on 101 or through their website, quoting the reference number IML 1867786.

This tragedy comes just days after another devastating crash in County Durham, where two young boys aged 13 and 18 lost their lives in a motorbike accident. Our hearts go out to all those affected by these heartbreaking events.
