Virgil van Dijk, the skipper of Liverpool, expresses his “praying for a quick recovery” for the victims of the car crash that struck the crowd during the club’s trophy parade.

Four children were hurt in a car that struck crowds during the Premier League trophy parade on Monday in central Liverpool, which left about 50 people injured.

A 53-year-old British man from the Liverpool area has since been detained on suspicion of dangerous driving, dangerous driving, and drug driving while in good health.

On social media, Van Dijk wrote, “My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected.”

“Praying for everyone who has been injured to recover quickly. We are all with you.

At a news conference on Monday, Premier Sir Keir Starmer said, “Liverpool stands together and the entire country stands with them.”

Jurgen Klopp, a former Liverpool manager, said the incident “should have been one of the greatest days in the city’s history.”

The German added: “It just showed the two faces of life,” he said on Tuesday following his induction into the League Managers Association Hall of Fame 1, 000 Club.

The parade was incredible, the mood incredible, and the face was “the most beautiful for a long time.”

“And from one second to the next, everything changed,” and we came to the conclusion that football is one of the world’s more serious issues.

The injured and their families are also in our thoughts and prayers.

Kenny Dalglish, an ex-Liverpool manager and player, described the incident as “shocked, horrified, and deeply saddened.”

Billy Hogan, the CEO of Liverpool, said, “I would like to express our sincere condolences to all those who have been affected by this terrible incident.

“This weekend was one of celebration, emotion, and joy spread throughout the city in our entire fanbase, and it ended in unfathomable scenes of distress with this abhorrent incident.”

On Monday during the bank holiday, thousands of Liverpool supporters gathered on the side’s streets to celebrate their Premier League victory.

The parade was held on Water Street, but traffic was prevented there.

However, eyewitnesses claimed that the vehicle disregarded “road closed” warnings.

Around ten minutes after the bus carrying Liverpool’s players, staff, and the Premier League trophy had left, the car slammed into the supporters.

Police claim that the incident is not connected to terrorism.
