Tragedy mars Liverpool victory: Community reeling from incident
"I thought I had lost everything," says a man from the UK who saw a car in Liverpool hit his son in a pram and run over his partner.
During the celebration of Liverpool FC's victory in the Premier League, a tragic incident occurred. A car drove into a crowd of fans gathered on the city streets. As a result of this incident, 27 people were taken to hospital, including four children. Two people, including a child, sustained serious injuries.
The police quickly responded to the scene, arresting a 53-year-old man suspected of driving the vehicle. However, it was ruled out that the incident was terror-related. Emergency services were at the scene, freeing four people trapped under the vehicle, including a child.
Daniel Eveson lived through the worst day of his life when his son in a pram was hit by a car, and his partner was run over during a parade in Liverpool.
Eveson described how the car hit him in the chest, and his partner was run over and dragged along the road. Their son, Teddy, after being hit, "landed" four yards away.
"It was hard because I didn't know where anyone was or what to do. A lot of people were angry and I saw the car getting smashed," said Eveson in an interview with the BBC.
After ensuring Teddy was safe, Eveson returned to his partner, who is still in hospital. "I thought I had lost everything," he added.
These events have shaken the Liverpool community. King Charles expressed his deep concern, and the Prince and Princess of Wales extended their condolences to the victims.
Investigation ongoing
Politician Liam Robinson urged residents not to share footage of the accident on social media and to report any information about the incident to the police. Nick Searle, the fire chief, reported the swift rescue operation that allowed for the liberation of those trapped under the vehicle.
The accident in Liverpool shook the community, and services continue to work to clarify all the circumstances of this tragic event.
