Liverpool Celebration Crash: Because of hate traffic jams?

8:58pm, 27 May 2025Football

During Liverpool's Premier League Championship parade on Monday, a car rushed into a crowd at the fork next to the parade route, and 47 people were injured. Afterwards, Merseyside police quickly announced the gender, race and age of the driver who caused the accident (a 53-year-old white male from Liverpool) and did not regard the incident as a terrorist attack. In this regard, a former London Police Superintendent told the BBC that it was "unprecedented" to announce the nation and race of the suspect so quickly, and believed that this was done to reduce the speculation of the far right and the spread of terrorist attacks. According to some witnesses, the driver who caused the accident wanted to "break through the crowd and not wait", and some people also said that the bus station kept honking its horn when it passed through the crowd.
