Authorities quickly released information about the driver of a car that careened through a street crammed with pedestrians celebrating Liverpool soccer club’s Premier League championship with a parade Monday.
At least 50 people were hospitalized after the Ford Galaxy, shown on a social media video, drove directly into a tight cluster of fans lining a street. Angry fans smashed the vehicle’s windows, and police quickly surrounded the car and arrested the driver.
Besides confirming the number of people injured — at least two seriously — the Merseyside Police answered a growing cacophony on social media questioning whether the driver was a terrorist.
