Liverpool parade latest: Suspect arrested for attempted murder, dangerous driving and drug offences after collision
By Ella Griffith, North of England producer in Liverpool
Hannah and Gavin came from Pembrokeshire to celebrate Liverpool's Premier League title win yesterday.
One of the best days of Gavin's life quickly turned into one of the worst.
"All you heard was screaming," he says, getting tearful. "It was disgusting, just screams and people scared for their lives."
The bottom of Water Street, opposite the Liver Building, is still cordoned off with police tape and dozens of media organisations reporting on what happened last night.
A number of police officers are standing guard, and 50 metres up the road, a large white police van is blocking the road and the view of the town hall. Discarded bottles, rubbish and a bike remain untouched.
Hannah said they'd had an "amazing day" but is traumatised this morning, shaking as she spoke.
She was on Water Street and didn't see the car, but heard the screaming, the police shouting for people to go, and people lying on the floor.
She said she heard someone saying a child had been hurt.
Hannah added that people didn't realise what had happened, and she panicked as she tried to find her partner Gavin.

Saturday briefing: Isak interests Liverpool and Son set for Tottenham exit
Alexander Isak's future was once again a red-hot topic as Liverpool reportedly upped their interest in the Newcastle striker on Friday. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min announced his intention to leave the club, while Spurs are closing in on the loan signing of Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich and Everton are pursuing a deal for Southampton teenager Tyler Dibling. Isak bid rejected Newcastle have rejected a bid from Liverpool for striker Alexander Isak, according to reports. The 25-year-old Sweden striker has been training at his old club Real Sociedad this week amid reports he has asked Newcastle executives to explore a move away from the club. He has been heavily linked with Liverpool, who are now reported to have made a bid for the player which Newcastle have knocked back. Isak still has three years left on his contract with Newcastle. Neither club has commented on the matter. Son Heung-min set for Tottenham farewell Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has revealed he will leave the club this summer. Son has spent the last decade at Spurs and achieved his goal of silverware in May when he helped them to Europa League success with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United. It ended a 17-year trophy drought for the club and South Korea captain Son explained his decision to target a 'fresh challenge' during a press conference in his home country ahead of Tottenham's pre-season friendly with Newcastle on Sunday. After Spurs arrived in Seoul on Friday, Son – following a remarkable 454 appearances and 173 goals for the north London club – confirmed his desire to depart this summer, with MLS outfit Los Angeles FC leading the race for his signature, the PA news agency understands. Son told a press conference: 'Before we start, I wanted to say I have decided to leave the club this summer. 'Respectfully, the club is helping me with this decision. 'It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career, such amazing memories. It was so hard to make this decision.' Spurs close in on Palhinha Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha underwent a medical at Tottenham on Friday, the PA news agency understands. Spurs are eager to boost their squad for new boss Thomas Frank ahead of the club's return to the Champions League this season and set their sights on the Portugal international. Palhinha only signed for Bayern last summer from Fulham in a deal worth up to £47.4million but endured a difficult debut campaign and made only six starts in Bundesliga, which has opened the door for a return to the Premier League. Talks between Tottenham and Bayern got under way on Thursday and PA understands an agreement was reached with Palhinha given the green light to undergo a medical ahead of the proposed move. Lockyer nears football return Former Luton captain Tom Lockyer has revealed he is 'four weeks away' from being allowed to play football again. Lockyer has not played since suffering a cardiac arrest during Luton's Premier League game against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in December 2023, while he collapsed on the field just seven months earlier during the Hatters' Sky Bet Championship play-off final win at Wembley against Coventry. Lockyer, speaking ahead of Luton's opening Sky Bet League One fixture against AFC Wimbledon at Kenilworth Road, told Sky Sports: 'I haven't had a break, I've been working all the way through, just trying to get this ankle right and trying to get fit. 'But I've had a really good few weeks and hopefully now I'm four weeks away from getting signed off and told I'm allowed to play football again.' Saints want more for Dibling Everton are looking to sign Tyler Dibling but are well below Southampton's current valuation, the PA news agency understands. The 19-year-old caught the eye during his breakthrough campaign, scoring four goals in 38 appearances in all competitions for the relegated side. A number of Premier League clubs have tracked Dibling's progress and Everton have seen an initial approach in the region of £27million rejected by the Championship club. The Toffees are reportedly ready to make another move for the England Under-21s international, but PA understands Saints want in excess of £40m for the academy graduate. What's on today? After Luton edged out AFC Wimbledon on Friday night, Sky Bet League One gets in full swing with 10 fixtures while there is a full League Two programme. Rangers get their Scottish Premiership campaign under way with a trip to Motherwell and Kilmarnock welcome Livingston.

Arsenal eye Real Madrid star as Eberechi Eze concerns emerge
Arsenal have enjoyed a busy summer so far, with six players making the move to the Emirates ahead of another Premier League title challenge. Arsenal have finished second for the past three seasons and will be desperate to win the league this season. Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosqura, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga have all been brought in to strengthen Mikel Arteta's squad, while several fringe players have departed. Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos have been sold to Lazio and Cruzeiro respectively, while Jorginho, Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey have been released. An agreement was also reached to terminate Takehiro Tomiyasu's deal a year early. Plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected before the transfer window slams shut and Mirror Football has taken a look at all the latest news and rumours from in and around the Emirates... READ MORE: Transfer news LIVE: Isak bid REJECTED, Sesko to make Man Utd decision, Chelsea's Simons headache READ MORE: Tottenham boss Thomas Frank approves £12m Arsenal transfer - 'He's a top player' According to Football Espana, Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz. It is claimed that Real Madrid are open to selling Diaz this summer, with new manager Xabi Alonso informing the player that he would only have a 'secondary role' next season if he remained at the Bernabeu. The report states that Arsenal, AC Milan and Fenerbahce are all weighing up a move for the 24-year-old, while Saudi Pro League sides Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and Neom SC are said to be willing to pay around €40m (£35m) for Diaz. Arsenal are one of several clubs interested in Brahim Diaz (Image: Alex Caparros) Arsenal have been warned that Liverpool's interest in Marc Guehi could scupper their move for Eberechi Eze. Arsenal are expected to make a move for Eze once they have offloaded some players, with the England international said to be keen on a move to the Emirates. However, Liverpool are interested in Eze's Crystal Palace teammate Guehi and that could complicate the situation. Palace are unlikely to sanction the exits of two key players this summer, although Liverpool are currently focused on their attempts to sign striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle. Arsenal are targeting a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze (Image:) Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has backed Christian Norgaard to be a success at Arsenal, having managed the midfielder at both Brentford and Brondby. When asked about Norgaard's move to Arsenal, Frank said: "It was a little emotional. I've known him since he was 15. He's 31 now and I've been training him for 12 years so I can say that I've known him for a pretty long time. "This is the first time I've played against him. He played for me more than 300 games and it was a bit strange to see him on the other team. He's a top player and I can understand why Arsenal went for him. I'm so happy that he got this great opportunity late in his career." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
