50 injured as car crashes into victory parade of Liverpool football fans

At least 50 people, including four children, were injured in a “horror” incident when a car rammed into a crowd during Liverpool’s Premier League victory parade in England on Monday (local time). One of the children sustained serious injuries, PA Media reported.

A 53-year-old man has been arrested in the case. Merseyside Police said the suspect was white, British and from the Liverpool area.

At a press conference late on Monday evening, Dave Kitchin from North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) said 27 people were taken to the hospital and 20 people were treated at the scene, with four children among the injured.

He said two of those taken to the hospital, including one of the children, suffered serious injuries. Liverpool fans had come out in the hundreds of thousands to celebrate the team winning the Premier League this season for a record-tying 20th top-flight title.
