Four children are among the 47 injured after a car ploughed into crowds during Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade.

Authorities have confirmed the incident is not being treated as terrorism, and the man in custody, a white British male from Liverpool, is believed to have been the driver of the vehicle.

The shocking collision occurred around 6pm on Monday on Water Street, where thousands of jubilant fans had gathered to celebrate Liverpool's 20th league title.

Witnesses reported the car was travelling at 30mph and had been sounding its horn as it edged through the dense crowd before it suddenly accelerated, swerved, and mounted the pavement, striking numerous people over about 200 yards.

Emergency services rushed to the scene and 27 people, including four children, were taken to hospitals across the city. While another 20 individuals were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

According to reports, three adults and one child were trapped underneath the car, believed to be a grey Ford Galaxy registered in Chester, and had to be rescued by fire crews. A paramedic was also hit by the vehicle.

'My thoughts are with all those injured in tonight's horrific incident,' said Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims of Merseyside Police, who confirmed the driver had been arrested.

'This had been a joyous day in Liverpool with hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets to celebrate Liverpool Football Club's parade. Sadly, at 6pm as the parade was drawing to a close, we received reports that a car was in collision with a number of pedestrians in Water Street.'

If I had to guess, the mob attacked his car and he got worried he was about to be attacked and decided to get out of area if he could.

It took the Brits exactly 15 minutes to release the fact that the driver was white, if that's even true.

Looked to me the driver got surrounded and tried to get out of the crowd, which caused the crowd to go into "kill the driver" mode. Time will tell.

They barely had time to scoop up the first injured person before authorities came out with the news he was white. What the heck does "white" mean in Britain, though, considering they call their various Middle Eastern illegals "Asians." The place is lousy with euphemisms.

Release the driver's NAME.
That's what matters.

[Sighlass]

Probable a normal fellow who got stuck in traffic, followed an ambulance to get through crowd and somehow got surrounded and panicked.

His downfall is he was on some drugs.... so even if surrounded with rabid fans beating on his car, he has little defense for driving.

Reason #407 not to do drugs. You are always guilty if thing go sideways.
