A serious incident occurred today during Liverpool's Premier League victory parade when a driver plowed a vehicle into a crowd of fans on Water Street in the city center. The event, which drew tens of thousands of supporters celebrating Liverpool FC's championship, turned chaotic just after 6 p.m. local time when a gray minivan struck at least one pedestrian and then veered into a larger group, pushing bodies along the street before coming to a stop123.
Eyewitnesses described the vehicle ramming people at high speed, with one attendee, Harry Rashid, recounting how the car began hitting people just ten feet from him, and that the impact sounded like "pop, pop, pop" as people were knocked off the bonnet. After initially stopping, the driver accelerated again, plowing through more of the crowd before finally halting. Bystanders reportedly charged the vehicle and smashed its windows in response2.
Merseyside Police quickly detained the male driver at the scene. Emergency services responded, but as of now, authorities have not released official information on the number or severity of injuries123. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the scenes "appalling" and expressed his thoughts for those injured or affected, while urging the public to allow police to conduct their investigation23.
This remains a developing situation, and further details are expected as the investigation continues123.
