A shocking incident happened.
A terrible accident occurred in which a vehicle rushed to fans who flocked to watch Liverpool's 2024-2025 Premier League championship parade. The BBC reported on the 27th (Korea time) that an accident occurred on Liverpool Water Street and dozens of people were injured. A total of 27 people, including four children, were reportedly taken to the hospital, while two (one child) were seriously injured. Merseyside police arrested a 53-year-old white man from Liverpool as a suspect.
BBC journalist Matt Cole, who attended the parade, said `A Liverpool bus had just passed by and a blue car cut through the crowd as they watched fireworks to celebrate the victory"At first, the crowd seemed to make way for the car. But there seemed to be no intention of slowing down. Suddenly, he began to speed up, and screams continued. "I looked back on the accident situation. Then "As the car passed by, a group of men came after it, tapping and throwing things next to the vehicle. The rear window had already been smashed."

The BBC's Dan Ogunshakin also "Suddenly, a lot of people started surrounding cars next to ambulances"As soon as I saw people shaking the car, I thought 'What's going on?' The car backed up, pushed people away, and suddenly sped into the crowd. People scattered like bowling pins." Then "The place that was stained with celebration, joy, and happiness was suddenly surrounded by fear, fear, and distrust. There was no separate hell", he explained.
The Water Street scene revealed on BBC Live is appalling. With the police blocking the scene with barricades, the streets are chaotic as if they were conveying the tragedy at the time of the accident.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said after hearing the news of the accident `Horrible things happened"He ordered emergency relief work and rapid response. Merseyside police said they were investigating the motive after the arrest of the suspect, but did not define the incident as a `terrorist.' The Liverpool club said in a statement that it `commites full support to the emergency service.'
