The road was closed for hours as police investigated the crash and residents living within the cordon couldn’t leave their homes.
A witness since told Liverpool Echo she saw “police picking up all the lady’s Christmas present bags off the floor at the scene”.
In a heartbreaking tribute, Ms Moore’s family said she was the “cherished daughter of Alison and Ian, sister to Ben and much-loved granddaughter of nana Sue. Partner to Jack and caring friend to many.”
The family, who also released a picture of Ms Moore on her university graduation, added: “She will be greatly missed by all those whose lives she touched. The family requests their privacy be respected at this devastating time.”
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has launched an investigation into Ms Moore’s death. Mandatory referrals are made to the IOPC should a person die or sustain serious injuries following police contact. Merseyside Police confirmed it was also appealing for witnesses and CCTV footage to help with the investigation.
Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson from the MATRIX serious collision investigation unit, confirmed Merseyside Police was providing assistance to the IOPC. DS Timpson added: “Our sincere thoughts and condolences are with Rachael’s family who have been left devastated by this tragic incident. Specially trained family liaison officers are supporting them at this time.
“I would like to appeal to anyone who witnessed this incident to please make contact with us as we try to piece together the circumstances. I would also like to ask anyone who has CCTV, Dashcam or Smart doorbell footage that may help us to please get in touch. As is standard procedure the incident was referred to the IOPC. The family requests their privacy be respected at this time.”
