Dominating Tuesday’s front pages is the “horror” in Liverpool after a car was driven into the crowd during Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory parade. The Guardian leads their coverage with an image of two paramedics carrying an injured Liverpool supporter after the incident in Water Street on Monday evening. The paper says a “53-year-old white British man was arrested on the scene” after celebrations were “plunged into chaos”.
The i Paper echoes the “shocking incident” in Liverpool as it reports that the number of injuries are still “unknown” and details on casualties “unconfirmed”. The paper also says bystander videos show “fans trying to stop the car while others beg police and medics for help”.
The Times reports an “estimated million people” took to the streets to celebrate Liverpool’s Premier League title. The paper says scenes of “jubilation descended into terror” as a man drove “straight through throngs of supporters, including children”. It also details people surrounding the car and “banging on windows” before police arrived on the scene.
“Liverpool glory turns to horror” headlines the Daily Telegraph. The paper reports the crash leaves “dozens of casualties”, with one witness saying she “felt like a sardine” packed into the street. It also says counter-terrorism police are investigating the incident.
The Daily Mail documents the “carnage” during the incident, leading with an image showing the moment a car “crashes” into the crowd and a number of people can be seen holding on to the bonnet. The paper reports the driver was “beeping the horn as he revved backwards and forwards” in the crowd.
A “nightmare” at the Liverpool parade, with “elation then horror” declares the Mirror. The paper features several compelling images from the incident, with one showing fans “swarming over” the car as it comes to a rest.
The Daily Express reports “multiple fans injured” as it features an image of the moment police descended on the car that drove into the crowd.
The same moment covers the Daily Star in its lead of “horror at the parade”, along with images of paramedics carrying off the injured.
The Sun follows with its coverage, reporting that “at least 30 people were injured” in the incident. It also features Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s response, calling the scenes “appalling”.
The Metro leads with Donald Trump’s latest “verdict” on the Russian president who, he says, has “gone absolutely crazy”. Trump’s comments come after Russia “unleashed its biggest drone blitz yet” on Ukraine, which the US president says is “for no reason whatsoever”. An image shows Liverpool’s streets clogged with emergency personnel and vehicles attending to the scene.
Several EU countries are pushing to secure a “swift deal” with the US to head off Donald Trump’s tariffs, the Financial Times reports. Trump is threatening 50% tariffs, and some nations in the bloc are “urging” others to “keep talking to Washington rather than taking the path of confrontation”. Meanwhile, the Gaza crisis is also prominent, as the paper says Germany has joined other Western nations in condemning Israel’s actions in the region.
