In a press conference earlier this week, the police said the car, which struck the Liverpool fans, followed an ambulance crew which had been let into Water Street to help treat someone who had a heart attack.
They added road closures were in places on Dale Street – which leads into Water Street – between North John Street and Exchange Street.
Several fundraisers have been set up for those who were injured in the attack.
Bar Coopers Townhouse, which is in the heart of Liverpool, raised £200 in just 10 minutes for Alder Hey children’s hospital.
After learning the youngest victim was just nine-years-old, staff and customers began an impromptu auction to raise funds.
Steve Keegan, who helps run the family owned pub, told Metro: ‘We were all just sat round talking about how sad it was for the young kids for such a special day to end like it did.

‘When customers started offering to buy random stuff from us so we can donate the money.
‘Someone gave us £50 for an old hat! We know it’s not much but it’s what we can do.’
A fundraising campaign set up for those affected has raised more than £30,000, including a £10,000 donation from the Jamie Carragher 23 Foundation, the former Liverpool player’s charity.

"We believe this to be an isolated incident, and we are not currently looking for anyone else in relation to it," Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims told a press conference, adding a 53-year-old British man had been arrested.
