Good Morning Britain star Susanna Reid delivered "horrific" breaking news just minutes into Tuesday's (May 27) broadcast.
At the beginning of the show, Susanna reported that four children were among those injured during yesterday's Liverpool FC celebrations.
A man aged 53 has been arrested after a car ploughed into pedestrians in Liverpool city centre amidst the Premier League winners' parade.
Eyewitness accounts and clips circulating on social media depict the vehicle veering through a crowd as bystanders scatter.
Police have stated that the incident isn't being treated as terror-related and appears to be an isolated event, reports Bristol Live.
"Our breaking news this morning is that we now know that four children were among the dozens injured yesterday as a people carrier was driven into crowds celebrating Liverpool's Premier League victory parade," Susanna announced.

Ed Balls chimed in: "The Prime Minister has paid tribute to the city's unity, saying Liverpool stands together and the whole country stands with Liverpool."
Chief correspondent Richard Gaisford was on the scene in Liverpool, while Nitya Rajan provided updates from outside Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
Before airing a pre-recorded piece, Richard issued a warning to viewers, before Nitya outlined the extent of the injuries from the incident.
"One child out of the four that were injured has sustained serious injuries," she confirmed.
Back in the studio, Susanna and Ed delved into the tragic impact of the incident on the local community.

"Devastating scenes there. Of course, everyone thought that they were celebrating something joyful," Susanna remarked.
"This parade was miles long, and initially people would not have realised what happened in Water Street if they had already drifted off in other directions.
"Obviously, your heart goes out to everyone injured, those who saw what happened, people would have been really devastated witnessing that, but everyone else in the parade thinking it was one of the best days of their life, and all that's come over that now is just awful."
Ed chimed in: "It's so particularly upsetting for this to happen in Liverpool. They were denied a parade during the pandemic when they won the league. Liverpool has faced such terrible football hardship over the years.

"For this to happen again and on the day when they're celebrating such a dramatically brilliant win in the Premier League is really unfair. It's terrible."
