The families of Jack Diggle, 23, Benjamin Dooley, 23, Andrew Roberts, 24, and Craig Shackleton-Brady, 26, have released tributes following their deaths in a car crash on Merseyside.
The incident occurred just before 2:00 AM BST on Friday when a black Seat Cupra traveling from Liverpool towards Knowsley left the road and struck a lamp-post on Liverpool Road in Huyton. All four men died at the scene, according to Merseyside Police.
Merseyside Police are continuing to appeal for information from the public regarding the circumstances of the crash.
In a joint statement released through the police, the families shared their grief and memories.
Jack Diggle's mother described him as "kind, quiet, thoughtful and loving," adding that he "adored his family." She recalled their last meal together on Thursday, noting it was a "lovely time, just mother and son, enjoying each other's company." She described him as their "gentle giant."
Diggle was also remembered as a proud Everton supporter who enjoyed playing football with his friends, many of whom had known him for most of his life.
The families' tributes highlight the close bonds and deep affection they held for the four young men.
