The driver of the car, which is suspected to have been stolen during a burglary, fled on foot after the crash.
Cops had appealed directly to the driver to “do the right thing” and hand themselves in.
Merseyside Police have now said a 17-year-old male had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Mr Francis was dubbed the “Litherland Running Man” in tributes as he regularly seen jogging, sometimes only wearing short, no matter how cold it was.
He was tragically pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Tributes have been flooding in for David online, while a GoFundMe has been set up to raise money for his funeral.
One wrote: “Hurts my heart this and I never knew him.
“When something so tragic happens so close to home. It hits hard… My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
“Litherland Running Man R.I.P (Dave Francis).”
Another said: “Whenever we’d be out in the car I’d always be looking out for him saying ‘there he is kids – The Litherland Running Man’.
“The kids knew him as LRM too. He was a machine, he ran effortlessly, he just ran for the love of running.
“He was our very own modern-day Forrest Gump.
“I don’t think he actually knew how locally famous he was.
“He was a legend and he was our legend.”
Detective Inspector Colin Rennison previously said: “We are in the very early stages of establishing the circumstances of this incident.
“Officers are currently at the scene and house-to-house enquiries are being carried out.
“We will also be checking CCTV and smart doorbell footage from the area in a bid to identify the male who was driving the vehicle.
“We are interested in hearing from anyone who may have seen a dark-coloured Audi S8 being driven in the area before the collision occurred.
“Any information you have, however small you may think it is, could prove to be vital to our enquiries.
“If you witnessed this incident or have any information please contact Merseyside Police social media desk via Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ with reference 1042 of April 13.
“You can also call 101 or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

‘GLIMMER MAN’ Manifests in Bedroom & Outside of House
A reader forwards two different encounters that he and his niece had with a ‘Glimmer Man’ entity at his home. What do you think these beings really are? Have you had a similar incident?
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
“First encounter: The date is July 14, 2018, two days after my birthday. At the time I and my girlfriend were living with my parents in their old old two-story brick house. Our room was upstairs. It was around 10 or 11 pm at night and I and my girlfriend are laying in bed. Nothing out of the ordinary was going on just a typical night just chilling out in bed.
First of all, let me mention I’m a grown man. Yes still live at my mom’s house but still a grown man. I don’t get scared easily. I’m not afraid of the dark or the boogeyman but this night is going to test my scaredness. I never even imagined in a million years something like this would ever happen, it was the furthest thing from my mind.
We are lying in bed and my girlfriend had to go downstairs to use the bathroom or something. Mind you, the bedroom light is on I’m lying in bed. The TV isn’t on. Haven’t watched it at all that day. But all of the sudden this is how I’m going to describe it as close as I can. Well, all of a sudden it feels like my bed is almost shaking or vibrating, in a sense me not understanding what is happening. I start looking around but as soon as I turn my head to the right I can see plain as day a silhouette of a human shape. But this human shape figure you could see straight through. It kind of looked like heat waves but in the distinct shape of a human, no mistake about it.
Ok, let me pause and do a recap. I came to realize that the bed shaking or vibrating was actually me trembling out of the fear way before I even saw anything. It’s like my gut feeling was in tune trying to warn me. Back to me seeing the human shape see-through figure. I was just stuck in a stare or gaze of awe when suddenly I watched it walk to the foot of the bed, all the way right to my side of the bed, and in a split second my conscience said, “Get the f*ck up now and run.” So, I jumped up and I swear I don’t even remember walking down the stairs. I was gone that fast. Now mind you, my mom, my dad, my sister, and my girlfriend are all right there in the dining room when I bolt through the downstairs door. They looked at me and said what’s wrong, you are as pale as a ghost. I kind of didn’t want to say anything to them because let’s be honest what if I told you that I saw a clear person? How the hell are you going to react? But, this is the weird part, we don’t mention this to anyone.
About a week later, give or take, my niece comes over. She is 10 at the time and likes riding the four-wheeler trike. So she rides it for a little bit shorter than her usual ride and she comes in and she is pale as a ghost and we ask her what is wrong? What happened? She says please don’t think I’m stupid but I saw an invisible person chasing me on the four-wheelers. It had a grown-up body but it was invisible it didn’t have any facial features all you could see was just the shape or outline of a human-like body. I instantly got chills over my body. Well, I told her I knew exactly what she had seen because I had a similar experience a week before. I told her you’re not crazy, it is real. I don’t know what it is but I saw it too.
I have one more encounter with the same invisible shape being 4 years later. I want to say the same one but definitely the same invisible shape entity.” EH
