0

Detectives investigating a fatal collision on the M56 have renewed their appeal for information, while urging people not to speculate over rumours surrounding the incident.

Krisstoffer Henshall was walking on the eastbound carriageway of the M56 between junctions 14 (Hapsford) and 12 (Runcorn), at around 12.50am on Monday 31 August when he was involved in a collision with three cars – a black Dacia Duster, a red Kia Niro and a black Ford Focus.
Sadly, despite the best efforts of all those involved, 38-year-old Kriss was pronounced dead at the scene.
Enquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing, and officers are continuing to appeal for information from the public.

Detective Sergeant Russ Sime, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “We are aware of a number of rumours circulating in relation to this collision, including reports that Kriss had been to Creamfields, which are simply incorrect and I would urge people not to speculate.
“This is an extremely difficult time for his family and friends, and our priority is to establish what took place.
“As part of the investigation we are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or believes they may have seen Kriss on the motorway prior to the collision, to get in touch.
“The same goes for anyone with any dashcam footage which may aid our investigation.
“Anyone with any information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or via www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us, quoting IML-2407733.”

Information can also be reported anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
