47 Injured After Car Hits Liverpool Fans, Police Rule Out Terrorism
The celebration during Liverpool FC's 20th top-flight English League title win took a tragic turn on Monday (local time) when a car drove into fans during their open-top bus parade on Water Street in Liverpool's city centre, injuring 47 people, including four children, as reported by the New York Times. The incident took place close to the end of the 10-mile-long parade route. According to the NYT, citing emergency services, 27 of the injured 47 have been hospitalised, with two, one of them a child, seriously injured. The remaining 20 others were treated at the scene.

Earlier on Monday, the Merseyside Police received calls around 6 PM (local time) about reports of a vehicle striking pedestrians. A suspect in the incident, a 53-year-old man from the Liverpool area, has been arrested, which the police believe to be have behind the wheel at the time of the crash. As per the NYT, Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims, during a Monday night press conference, said that the police consider this an isolated incident and are not looking for any additional suspects. Authorities are not treating the act as terrorism. Following the incident, the football club issued a statement expressing their thoughts and prayers to the victims affected by the incident. "We are in direct contact with Merseyside Police regarding the incident on Water Street which happened towards the end of the trophy parade earlier this evening. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident. We will continue to offer our full support to the emergency services and local authorities who are dealing with this incident," the club stated on X.

Liverpool FC lifted their second Premier League Trophy on Sunday and were celebrating their incredible season with an open-top bus parade before the incident took place. This title win comes in the very first season under new manager Arne Slot, who took over the reins following the departure of Jurgen Klopp in 2024. "This is by far the number one - it's beyond what you can expect, what you can dream of…You can't imagine what this is like - I've won a few things before but you can't compare them to this. Young, old, every age is here - look them in the eyes and it says it all… You can hardly believe there are [still] more citizens of Liverpool [for us to see later on the route]. All through the route there's been so, so many people - it's beyond my dreams," Club head coach Arne Slot said during the parade as quoted by the Premier League.
