Witness statement from the scene
Daniel Jones, 28, was on Water Street celebrating when the van plowed through the crowd only a few feet away from him and his mates.
He told The Sun: “Luckily my wife had just gone up to the hotel with my three-year-old son.
“I dread to think what would have happened if they hadn’t done that. I was horrified. I was scared.
“There were paramedics on their hands and knees treating wounded people. It was a horrifying scene.
He added that as soon as the car stopped, those who were not hit crowded the vehicle.
He said: “A lot of people were evidently really angry. They were smashing [the car] up. Police were trying to restrain them.
“The back of the window was completely smashed. Everyone was just jumping onto that car, trying to jump on that car because officers were trying to restrain them.
“They were ripping the register plate off. The back window was broken when the [driver] was still in it.”
A civil engineer, Daniel had travelled from North Wales with his wife Zoe and their young son to celebrate Liverpool’s win.
