Water Street is near the Strand, where moments before the incident occurred Liverpool FC had paraded the Premier League trophy from the top of a bus. Thousands of people had come out to celebrate the team's victory. The incident happened about a mile before the parade's finishing point.

Almost 80 people, including four children, were injured on Monday after a driver plowed into a crowd that had been celebrating Liverpool F.C.’s Premier League title.

Four people are 'very, very ill' after sustaining injuries in the car-ramming, the city's mayor said. A 53-year-old suspect has been arrested.
