MERSEYSIDE POLICE ASK FOR HELP... FATAL RTC IN SOUTHPORT !
MERSEYSIDE
Police are appealing for information following a fatal road traffic
collision in Southport.
At about 1.10am on Saturday 4 March 2006, officers were called
following a report of a collision on Eastbank Street.
On arrival officers found a man, later identified as being 38 years
of age and local to the area. He died a short time later at the
scene. The victim has been named as 37 year old Andrew Roden from
Southport. Mr. Roden had two young daughters aged 6 and 11 years of
age. A post mortem examination took place on Sunday
afternoon.
Detectives are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the
collision to contact them. It is believed that the victim ran across
Eastbank Street, in the direction of Scarisbrick New Road and near
to its junction with Tulketh Street. He then came into collision
with a saloon type car which came from the direction of the Lord
Street area. The victim was then lying in the road,suffering from
injuries when a car passed him on the opposite side of the road. Two
further cars, which were being driven towards the roundabout at
Scarisbrick Road then swerved to avoid him. A third vehicle, a
silver BMW travelling in the same direction, collided with him and
stopped at the scene.
Detectives are appealing for the drivers involved to come forward.
DCI Bob Marsden said:- "I'd firstly appeal for the driver of
the first saloon car who collided with the victim to come forward. I
believe this driver knew they had collided with the man but left the
scene anyway. I'd also appeal for the two drivers who swerved to
avoid the victim to come forward. They have done nothing wrong
however they may be vital witnesses who can help us to trace the
offender."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crimestoppers on 0800
555 111 or Copy Lane CID on 0151 777 3165

Battle Of The Bands – FINAL At Casablanca, Southport
THE night was dark, cold, and icy
and the wind was up, but on stage in Casablanca were four bands that
were more fearsome than the freak storm outside… YES, it was ROCK ON
as the battle lines were drawn in front of a maximum capacity
audience of all ages. Taking to the stage to wage war with devilish
sounds that sent shivers through the spine and burst eardrums were
four local bands, Strikeout, Lobe, The Last Round and Fight
Benjamin. A sign on the door said:- "Battle of the Bands THE
FINAL!! featuring some of the most exciting up-and-coming acts from
the North West. WARNING...likely to be LOUD!!!", but I don’t
know who were louder, the bands or the massive fan base who queued
inside and out waiting to hear the roar and thunder from the guitars
and drums…. The shrieks from the singers and cries from the backing
singers…. Well done to all who put on the event. It was so good the
queue, which fought to get in, stretched down towards the Marine
Lake at one point! Winning the night was the band Fight Benjamin,
but voting by slips handed in by the audience showed it was very
close and all the bands deserve a slap on the back for what was a
most excellent contest!
