Jurgen Klopp family 'shocked' as Liverpool hero releases parade crash statement

Ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has issued an heartfelt statement following Monday's incident at the Liverpool title parade. Dozens of people were hospitalised after a car ploughed into a crowd on Water Street, where Reds fans were out in force to celebrate their Premier League title win.

Legendary former Liverpool manager Klopp, who handed the reins over to Arne Slot last year, posted updates to his Instagram story as he watched the title celebrations from a high-up viewpoint in the city centre. The jubilant scenes were abruptly ended just after 6pm (BST) when a vehicle collided with a number of people, injuring 50 and leaving four 'very, very ill in hospital', according to Mayor Steve Rotherham.

On Tuesday morning, Klopp posted a statement on social media which read: "My family and I are shocked and devestated. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who are injured and affected. You'll never walk alone."
