The families of four men who died after a car hit a lamp-post on Merseyside have paid tribute to them.<\/p>\n
The black Seat Cupra had been travelling from Liverpool towards Knowsley, before it came off the road and crashed on Liverpool Road, Huyton, just before 02:00 BST on Friday.<\/p>\n
Jack Diggle, 23, Benjamin Dooley, 23, Andrew Roberts, 24, and Craig Shackleton-Brady, 26, all died at the scene, Merseyside Police said.<\/p>\n
Officers are continuing to appeal for information about what happened.<\/p>\n
The families of all four men released their tributes together through police.<\/p>\n
Jack Diggle’s mum said: “Jack was kind, quiet, thoughtful and loving. He adored his family, and we loved him with all our hearts.<\/p>\n
“Jack was blessed with a wonderful group of friends, many of whom had been by his side for most of his life. <\/p>\n
“He loved playing football with them and was a proud Everton supporter. <\/p>\n
“Jack and I went out for a meal together on Thursday. It was such a lovely time, just mother and son, enjoying each other’s company. Little did I know that it would be the last time we would spend together.<\/p>\n
“Our Jack, our gentle giant, we love you beyond words and will love you forever. Rest peacefully, son.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The families of four men who died after a car hit a lamp-post on Merseyside have paid tribute…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":712414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-712413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=712413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/712414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=712413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=712413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=712413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
