A PENSIONER has died after the car he was driving collided with a lammpost in Wirral.

The 70-year-old man was taken to Arrowe Park Hospital after the Renault Clio he was driving collided with a lamppost and a Range Rover on Mill Hill, Oxton, at around 8.15am today, Thursday.

He died a short time later in hospital.

His next of kin has been notified and a police family liaison officer is currently speaking to them.

Mill Hill was closed at the junctions of Talbot Road and Holm Lane to allow for the recovery of the vehicle and was reopened shortly after midday.
