moments for granted" as he shared a message of thanks with fans. What should have been a day of celebrations, as the Liverpool team paraded through the city, turned to horror when a car

ploughed into supporters on Water Street.

Police were called to the city centre shortly after 6pm to reports a car had ploughed into a crowd of pedestrians. Before the horrific incident, the streets of the city had been a sea of red

as Liverpool fans cheered and waved flags. Thousands of people were eager to catch a glimpse of the open-top bus carrying the LFC team as it made its way towards the city centre.

‌ The Reds secured their Premier League title with a resounding 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the end of last month. Crowds erupted at Anfield on Sunday night as they finally lifted

the trophy. Celebrations continued into Monday as the squad partied alongside DJ Calvin Harris on a ten mile parade route around Liverpool.

‌ But it was the horrifying events on Water Street, which saw a total of 79 people injured, that would overshadow the victory parade. A 53-year old man from West Derby was arrested on

suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving offences and driving while unfit through drugs.

"The way the city came together before and after everything - is what makes it such a special place. Liverpool, I love you!"

On Tuesday, former manager Jurgen Klopp released a statement about the horrifying incident. He said: "Yesterday it just showed the two faces of life. The most beautiful face for a long, long

time - the parade was incredible, it was incredible.

"From one second to the other everything changed because we then learned again there are more serious things in the world than football. Obviously thoughts and prayers go to the, as far as I

know now, the injured and to the families of course as well.

said it showed the bad face of life as well.

"I at least don't know anything about exactly what happened - how and why it happened - but we all know what happened and that is very, very bad."

In his earlier statement posted to social media, Klopp had shared his devastation over what had happened. He wrote: "My family and I are shocked and devastated," he wrote. "Our thoughts and

prayers are with all those who are injured and affected. You'll Never Walk Alone."
