Liverpool’s title parade on Monday was spoilt by a vehicle collision Water Street, approximately one mile from the parade’s endpoint.
Thousands had gathered to celebrate the club’s record-equalling 20th league title, but witnessed scenes of horror on a day that should have been reserved for only positive emotions.
Now Liverpool FC CEO Billy Hogan has issued a statement on the matter.
It read:
“On behalf of all of us here at Liverpool Football Club, I would like to extend our heartfelt thoughts to all those who’ve been affected by this appalling incident on Water Street yesterday evening.”
“This weekend was one of celebration, emotion and joy spread across the city in our entire fan base, and it ended in unimaginable scenes of distress with this appalling incident.”
“I’d like to pay tribute to our emergency services and partner agencies – Merseyside Police, North West and St John Ambulance Services, and Merseyside Fire and Rescue – who dealt with the incident, and now our hospital staff across the city who are dealing with those who are injured, including tragically four children.”
“I would also like to thank our supporters who witnessed this event and helped each other where they could.”
“We continue to work with the emergency services and the local authorities to support their ongoing investigation and once again we would ask if anyone has any further information about the incident, please contact Merseyside Police.”
