Car ploughs into revellers queuing outside Liverpool nightclub

Shocking CCTV footage shows the terrifying moment a group Christmas revellers are hit by a car in Liverpool city centre before the driver flees the scene. 

The four men can be seen trying to cross the road in a popular nightlife area of the city before a white Ford SUV suddenly veers towards them, giving them little chance to move out of the way. 

Merseyside Police have confirmed a 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. 

The incident happened early this morning at around 2.45 am on Slater Street, a popular bar area in Liverpool with one of the victims ‘walking wounded’ and the worse off suffering from ‘major trauma’, according to North West Ambulance Service. 

The ambulance service added that they took two men to the hospital and that while he suffered major trauma, the man that became stuck under the car has it sped away was conscious and breathing when he was tended to by paramedics.

The vehicle can be seen apparently waiting at the junction before speeding up and risking the lives of the four men, one of whom is in a ‘serious condition’ in hospital.  

As the men are mown down, the driver door of the oncoming vehicle is opened in an apparent attempt to do more damage to the group of victims. 

But reports from Liverpool suggest that the vehicle was driving away from an incident around the corner, apparently confirmed by an ambulance crew who saw the incident unfold according to a family friend of one of the victims on Facebook.
