“Our son, Juan Pablo Hernández Lima, died in a road traffic collision on September 18.
He was only 18 years old, and it was his first day at the University of Liverpool, where he was about to study urban planning.
Juan was born in Cuba but also had Mexican and American nationality. He felt like a citizen of the world. Furthermore, he loved the UK. He will be sadly missed by all his family.”

They are grateful for the help of the local community here in Liverpool, those who helped at the roadside, and for the work of the emergency services.
An investigation is ongoing, and I would ask that if you were in the area at the time, to please review your CCTV or dashcam in case the incident was captured. Every piece of information, no matter how small, could help us with our ongoing inquiries.”
