John Isherwood, a broadcaster for Cork's Red FM, was present at a Liverpool Premier League trophy celebration when a car drove into the crowd, injuring 47 individuals. Isherwood described the chaotic moment after the open-top bus parade, detailing the sudden panic as the vehicle struck and reportedly reversed from the scene. Witnessing the aftermath left him shaken, although emergency services responded swiftly. He shared his immediate concern for the victim on the ground and reflected on the shocking nature of the unexpected incident amidst the celebratory atmosphere.
"I was quite near the Liver Building for the actual parade itself, and I'd lost all my friends... and literally as we turned on to it, it was directly opposite us."
"There was a static ambulance, and it was moments, literal seconds of panic, as this car just came out of nowhere... hit the ambulance and catch someone between it and the ambulance."
