'There were people screaming and running away, carrying children, covering their eyes'

A WOMAN from Pembrokeshire who was caught up in the Liverpool FC parade incident has described 'people screaming and running away, carrying their children, covering their eyes!

- 

Leah Bower was attending the parade and celebrating with her family just a street away from Water Street, where a car allegedly ploughed into supporters, injuring more than 50 people, including four children.

Speaking to BBC Radio Wales yesterday, Ms Bower, who had travelled to Liverpool from Pembrokeshire for the parade, said she was very nearly on Water Street at the time of the incident and saw hundreds of supporters running away from the scene.

"We were on Brunswick Street, which is the street that runs parallel to Water Street. When we were then reflecting on everything, we realised that we were nearly on Water Street for the parade - it was only because we were behind some trees that we moved further away towards the city centre," she said.
