LONDON (AP) — A 53-year-old white British man plowed his minivan into a crowd of Liverpool soccer fans who were celebrating the city’s Premier League championship Monday, as shouts of joy turned into shrieks of terror, injuring more than 45 people.
The driver arrested was believed to be the only one involved in the incident and it was not being investigated as an act of terrorism, police said.
Dave Kitchin of North West Air Ambulance said 27 people were taken to the hospital, with two suffering serious injuries, and another 20 people were treated at the scene for minor injuries. At least four children were injured.
Firefighters had to lift the vehicle to free four victims trapped beneath it. One of those injured was a medic who had been on duty on a bicycle.
