A cabin crew worker who was struck by a car near Liverpool John Lennon Airport has died, police have confirmed.

Cinzia Ceravolo, 36, suffered head injuries after she was hit by a Ford Focus at about 23:45 BST on Monday.

She was treated in hospital for her injuries but she died on Friday, Merseyside Police said.

A 30-year-old man who had been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and drug-driving has been released under investigation.
