Engineer Sean turns into Have a go hero after car smash

A heroic Southport engineer has been hailed as an everyday superman after tackling a drunk driver who tried to run away from a crash.

EFT employee Sean Pointon was heading to a job when he witnessed a horrid collision after a speeding driver lost control of his car and narrowly avoided death.

The crash happened near Black Brook on the border with Lancashire but the driver attempted to flee the scene fearing arrest.

A quick thinking Sean jumped out of his van and tackled the man, who he discovered was heavily intoxicated and called 999.

Police have commended Sean for his actions and he has now been put on a nomination list for a local heroes award by the constabulary.
