An AFP journalist in Liverpool saw at least four people taken away on stretchers, after witnesses reported seeing people hit by a dark-coloured vehicle swerving through the huge crowds.
But tens of thousands of people had turned out in torrential rain for the jubilant celebrations to see the northwest English side's victory parade, involving players on an open-topped bus and fireworks.
“It was extremely fast,“ said Harry Rashid, 48, from Solihull, near Birmingham, central England, who was at the parade with his wife and two young daughters.
“It was horrible and you could hear the bumps as he was going over the people.”
Witness Mike Maddra said the “car turned left mounted pavement, come towards us and runs towards the buildings.”
Cordons were put in place and ambulances and a fire engine were also at the scene, with the injured being treated on the street.
North West Ambulance Service said its crews were “assessing the situation” with other emergency services.
“My thoughts are with all those injured or affected,“ he wrote on X, adding he was being updated on the investigation.
“It just wasn’t stopping. I managed to grab my daughter who was with me and jump out of the way,“ he said, adding the car “missed myself and my family by literally inches”.
Liverpool had earlier been a sea of red as hundreds of thousands of supporters packed the city's streets, on a national holiday, to celebrate winning the Premier League title with Arne Slot's successful squad.

Liverpool FC said on X they were working with Merseyside police, adding: “Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident”.
Everton, Liverpool’s Merseyside rivals also said the club’s “thoughts are with all those who have been affected by this serious incident in our city”.
However, they were only presented with the trophy after Sunday's final match against Crystal Palace.
When Jurgen Klopp's side ended a 30-year drought without winning the league in 2020, there was no parade due to coronavirus restrictions.
In 1989, 97 Liverpool fans died in a crush at a game in the Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield.
In 1985, 39 mainly Italian fans were killed when a wall collapsed amidst disturbances between Liverpool and Juventus fans at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels.
