Chaotic trophy celebration leaves Liverpool fan's family traumatized; baby flung from pram, partner run over during festivities
Liverpool Parade Collision Leaves Father and Partner Injured, baby Unharmed
A horrifying incident unfolded on Monday during Liverpool Football Club's victory parade, as father Daniel Eveson, 36, and his partner Sheree Aldridge were hit by a vehicle on Water Street. Their five-month-old baby, Teddy, was remarkable in escaping unscathed as he was flung 15 feet from his pram.
In an emotional account, Eveson told our website, "The best day of my life turned into the worst." As a lifelong supporter of 'The Reds,' he had attended the parade with his family. He recounted the terrifying moment the car barreled towards them, "I tried to hold on to the front of the car and stop it. Me and my partner were flat on the roof, on the bonnet... we were just both trying to hold on for dear life with Ted next to us."
While Eveson and Sheree, also 36, endured injuries, Teddy was fortunately unharmed and taken to Alder Hey Children's Hospital for a check-up, returning home with his father shortly after. Sheree suffered muscle tissue damage and is currently recovering at Aintree University Hospital.
A 53-year-old local man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and drug driving in connection with the collision. Police have been granted additional time to question the suspect, with the investigation ongoing.
The family expressed gratitude for the public's support and the quick response of emergency services. Sheree, in particular, praised the resilience of Liverpool's community during such a challenging incident.
In the aftermath of the incident, Eveson expressed a mix of emotions, saying, "I feel a lot of emotions right now. Upset, angry, traumatized. A lot of unanswered questions that need to be answered." He also questioned the handling of the situation, stating, "To me, it just wasn't handled properly - the situation with the car getting that far into the crowd, in my opinion, he should not have got anywhere near us."
