The grim aftermath of the event on Water Street saw nearly 50 fans injured — four of whom were children — with 27 requiring immediate medical attention.

In a BBC interview conducted Tuesday morning, Rotheram delivered an update asserting, 'still four people who are very, very ill in hospital'.

"I don't think it's worth us speculating on what might have happened to the driver." Dave Kitchin of the North West Ambulance Service spoke out at a press briefing last night verifying that 27 individuals were conveyed to hospital after the incident.

He reported: "We can confirm that our teams treated 20 patients at the scene for minor injuries and these did not need hospital treatment
