Police
continue questioning suspected driver of car that ploughed into crowd in
Liverpool
Welcome to
our continued live coverage after a car ploughed into a crowd at Liverpool’s
Premier League victory parade on Bank Holiday Monday.
Merseyside
Police said there was a total of 65 confirmed casualties following the incident
in Water Street.
More than 50
people, including children, were treated in different hospitals and 11 people
remained there on Tuesday in a stable condition. There were no “major traumas”
or life-threatening injuries among the victims, medical staff at Royal
Liverpool university hospital said.
The alleged
driver of the car, a 53-year-old British man, from the West Derby area of
Liverpool, has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving and attempted murder
and is being interviewed in custody.
Police say
the man was also being detained on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving
while unfit through drugs.
Detectives
have been given additional time to question the man until around lunchtime on
Wednesday. The incident is not being treated as terrorism.
Merseyside’s
assistant chief constable Jenny Sims told a press conference:
It is
believed the driver of the Ford Galaxy car involved in this incident was able
to follow an ambulance onto Water Street after the road block was temporarily
lifted so that the ambulance crew could attend to a member of the public who
was having a heart attack.
