The family of a young man who died in a motorbike accident have remembered him as a “kind, loving and caring person” who “would do anything for anyone”. Brandern Holly, 20, died when the motorbike he was riding crashed on South Road in Speke, near the junction with Speke Boulevard, at around 7.15pm on Friday, July 19.
The family of Mr Holly, from the Preston area, said: “Brandern was a kind, loving and caring person, he would do anything for anyone. He will be missed by all his family, close friends and everyone who knew him. We are deeply saddened by the tragedy that has taken place and it will remain with us forever. Live to ride, ride to live – may he rest in peace.”
Mr Holly was found seriously injured after the crash on the slip road at the Jaguar Land Rover site in Speke. He was taken to hospital by ambulance where he died later that day. His family is currently being supported by specialist family liaison officers.

“I continue to appeal directly to anyone who has seen anything and has not yet spoken to my team to please get in touch. This collision happened on the Jaguar Land Rover site slip road. We understand the motorbike was travelling eastbound, having left Penketh Drive near Morrisons supermarket and turned right.
“Initial investigations indicate that a number of vehicles were in the area at the time and I believe this may have been seen by members of the public or dash cams may have captured the scene. The motorbike involved was a Suzuki SV650 and was a very distinctive yellow colour, which stood out to other road users.
“I would also ask anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident and has a dash cam in their vehicle to check it as a matter of urgency. These devices can often capture vital evidence without the driver of the vehicle being aware of it. Any help we receive, however small, could help our investigation.”
