Appeal for witnesses and footage
Officers are appealing for information from anyone who saw what happened or the moments leading up to it.
They are also asking people to check any CCTV or dash cam footage recorded in the area at the time.
Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson, the Lead Investigating Officer from Merseyside Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "This was a serious collision which has left a woman in hospital. I appeal to the public for help with our investigation.
“In particular, I am keen to speak to anyone who saw the incident or the build up to it. I know that there were a large number of people in the area at the time, including pedestrians and motorists.
“I also appeal to local residents and businesses who may have CCTV systems and who have not yet spoken to my officers to review their footage. If you believe that you have captured the incident, please get in touch.
“Equally I also appeal to anyone who was in the locality at the time who may have dash cam in their vehicles. Both front and rear cameras can often record vital evidence without the driver being aware. Please review your systems and again I appeal for you to get in touch if you can help”.
