Dozens injured after driver plows through pedestrians at Liverpool victory parade: Officials

Dozens of people were injured after a driver struck pedestrians in Liverpool on Monday, officials said, as hundreds of thousands had gathered at a parade celebrating the Liverpool Football Club winning the English Premier League soccer title.

The suspected driver has been taken into custody, police said, after what United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer called an “appalling” incident.
