Liverpool’s CEO issues heartfelt message over ‘appalling incident’ during title parade

Liverpool’s CEO has issued a heartfelt message over the “appalling incident” that occurred during the Reds’ title parade.

Arne Slot’s side had been parading the Premier League trophy around the city when a car crashed into crowds on Walter Street – leaving 27 supporters, including four children, being taken to hospital.

In a statement, Billy Hogan said: “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.
