The suspect was arrested before he died, explaining why the grounds were "attempted murder".
Merseyside Police Det Insp Tony O’Brien said: “Although a man has been arrested in connection with this serious and tragic incident, our inquiries continue.
“We still want to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision, recorded anything on dashcam or home CCTV, or has since heard anything.
