Inquest set to be held into death of little Faye Dawson, three, killed in M6 crash in Leyland last year

Faye Dawson, aged three, of Wallasey, Merseyside, died on Saturday November 19, 2022, after the car she was travelling in was in collision with a Porsche Boxster sportscar on the southbound carriageway near Leyland.

The driver of the Porsche Boxster, a 79-year-old man, also died at the scene.

Faye’s mother was in the Vauxhall Mervia car with her daughter and suffered serious injuries.

She was taken to Royal Preston Hospital, while a man in the car also suffered serious injuries.

Just hours earlier, Faye and her family had been enjoying a carefree day at the seaside.

After her death, Faye’s family were inundated with messages of support from people in Blackpool, Leyland and across Liverpool.

Her heartbroken family paid tribute to a ‘beautiful’, ‘funny’ and ‘clever little girl’.

The full inquest is to be held at Preston Coroner's Court on Faraday Drive, Fulwood, on November 2, starting at 10am.
