Another man also in his 50s was taken to hospital for treatment following the crash before returning home to recover.
Sergeant Mike Clarey of Merseyside Police said: “Our thoughts are with the families of both men involved as we investigate this tragic incident.”

“He was always funny and loved making others smile around him.
“He loved giving his daughter sweets when her mum said no, and he tried his best to be the best father.
“He will be deeply missed, and much love is sent to him.”
Zaheer’s family have asked for privacy as they grieve for their loss.
