Authorities have addressed and dismissed “incorrect rumours” surrounding the death of Krisstoffer Henshall, 38, who died following a collision on the M56 motorway. Henshall, from Golborne, was walking on the eastbound carriageway between junctions 14 (Hapsford) and 12 (Runcorn) when he was involved in a collision with three cars—a black Dacia Duster, a red Kia Niro, and a black Ford Focus—at approximately 12:50 AM on Monday, August 31. Despite the efforts of emergency services, Henshall was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detective Sergeant Russ Sime of Cheshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit stated that officers are aware of speculation, including “reports that Kriss had been to Creamfields, which are simply incorrect,” and urged the public not to draw conclusions about the incident. He emphasized that this is a difficult time for Henshall’s family and friends, and the priority of the investigation is to establish the full circumstances of what occurred.
Henshall’s family has expressed their heartbreak over the sudden loss, stating they are “struggling to understand and process this devastating news” and that he “will be missed beyond words.” They have requested privacy during this time.
The M56 eastbound carriageway was closed for several hours following the crash while emergency services and collision investigators worked at the scene, reopening around 9:15 AM on Monday. Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage that could assist the investigation to contact them, quoting IML-2407733.
