The family of a man who died when his car flipped on its roof in Liverpool, have paid an emotional tribute to him.

Following a fatal collision in Vauxhall, Liverpool in the early hours of Friday, 15 February, the victim has been named as 41-year-old Paul Gardner from Liverpool.

“Paul was a much loved son and brother with a heart of gold. As a family we are trying to come to terms with what has happened. We would really appreciate that if anyone can help the Police with their investigation that they contact them to help put our minds at rest and provide us with some answers as to how this happened.”
