Twenty-seven people were taken to the hospital after a car ploughed into a crowd during Liverpool FC’s Premier League trophy parade. Police received reports of the crash on Water Street at 6pm on Monday evening as the parade, attended by up to one million Liverpool fans, was drawing to a close.

Merseyside Police believe the car was able to follow an ambulance after a road block was temporarily lifted to treat a member of the public.
