Chilling new CCTV footage has provided fresh insight into the moments leading up to the horrific incident in Liverpool during the Premier League title parade.

The video, captured by a mobile phone shop, shows a Ford people carrier attempting to navigate through throngs of football fans just moments before it sped down Water Street, striking numerous individuals and injuring nearly 50.

People seemed relaxed around the cars as they inched their way through the centre, their attention fixed on the ongoing celebrations until the car - mere minutes later - ploughed into dozens of bystanders.
