Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotterham said that four people were in a very difficult situation in the hospital after the car crashed during the parade of the Premier League. Authorities do not view the case as a terrorist attack, but did not specify how the driver was able to enter the area closed by the car.
According to the police, about 50 people were injured in the incident, 27 of whom were taken to hospital, including children. The incident took place in the dense crowd of fans, where the car ran over the people by throwing them into the air.
British Prime Minister Kyir Starmer thanked the emergency services for a quick response, emphasizing that "every man, especially children, must have the opportunity to celebrate their heroes without such horror," Reuters reported.
