The suspected driver in the Liverpool victory parade horror crash has been described by neighbours as a 'nice family' man - despite the injured now totalling almost 80.

Horrified locals in the quiet cul-de-sac where the alleged driver lives with his three young sons and wife have said: "It just doesn't make sense."
Detectives were given extended powers to keep quizzing the 53-year-old man from near Liverpool who has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and drug-driving.

Liverpool parade crash suspect update as police issue statement
The local force have said the total number injured had risen to 79, with seven still recovering in hospital yesterday, reports the Mirror.

Celebrations for Liverpool FC's title winning parade descended into chaos on May 26 after a Ford Galaxy slammed through crowds in the city centre. Horror clips showed fans tossed in the air, dragged under the vehicle and prams thrown down Water Street.


The suspect's name emerged as police officers and vans were stationed outside his four-bed £300,000 family home. Our sister title, the Mirror has chosen not to identify him.
