The Liverpool Parade Crash: A Full Account
During Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory parade on May 26, 2025, a tragic incident occurred when a car drove into a crowd on Water Street, injuring 65 people, including children. Four individuals were seriously hurt, with two in critical condition. The driver, a 53-year-old man from West Derby, Liverpool, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving, and being unfit through drugs. Police believe he tailgated an ambulance through a temporarily opened roadblock. Authorities confirmed the act is not being treated as terrorism-related. Emergency responders were praised for their swift actions, and the public has been urged not to speculate or circulate distressing content online. Reactions have poured in from political leaders, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, as well as football personalities and celebrities expressing support. Planned celebrations and strikes were postponed following the incident. Investigations, including extensive CCTV review, continue as officials seek answers on how the vehicle compromised the closed parade route.
