King Charles and Queen Camilla expressed deep shock and sadness after a car plowed into crowds celebrating Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer echoed their sentiments, saying, “Liverpool stands united, and the whole country stands with them.”
The crash injured at least 65 people, including children, with 11 still hospitalized in stable condition. The incident happened shortly after 6 p.m. on Bank Holiday Monday during the club’s victory parade on Water Street.
Police say the 53-year-old suspect from Liverpool’s West Derby area avoided a roadblock by following an ambulance responding to a heart attack call. He then drove into the crowd. He has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving, and driving while unfit due to drugs.
Authorities confirmed the incident is not being treated as terrorism. An extensive investigation and review of CCTV footage are underway to understand the events leading up to the crash.
Merseyside Police defended the parade’s security plans, saying all measures were in place, including road closures and armed police. Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram called it “legitimate” to question how the suspect’s car accessed the parade route, noting that Water Street remains closed and police maintain a cordon.
Meanwhile, locals have started leaving flowers and tributes at the crash site as the city comes to terms with the tragedy.
