Thousands of football fans had spent the day gathering in Liverpool, where celebrations for the champions were marked with an open-top bus parade along a 10-mile route.
Dozens of people, including four children, have been injured. One man has been arrested.
Just after 6pm, as the parade was ending, police received reports that a car had collided with crowds on Water Street.

How many people have been injured?
Forty-seven people have been reported injured in the collision, with 20 treated at the scene and 27 taken to hospital. Four children are among the injured.
Some patients had also taken themselves to local hospitals, North West Ambulance Service said.
A local Italian restaurant – Riva – was used as a makeshift triage centre, the Liverpool Echo reported.
“Staff in the restaurant appear to be providing fluids to those being treated and the emergency services.”
Afterwards, there was a heavy emergency services presence afterwards in the littered street, with police cars, ambulances and fire engines all at the scene.

Police have cordoned off Water Street, where a large blue tent was erected near other emergency vehicles.
Dal Babu, a former chief superintendent in London’s Metropolitan Police, told the BBC that was an effort to cool social media speculation over the incident.
