A guest on Good Morning Britain opened up about how she escaped the Liverpool parade crash by mere inches after diving out of the road – but confessed that she’s now riddled with guilt. 

Chelsea Yuen appeared on the ITV show on Tuesday to talk to Ed Balls, 58, and Susanna Reid, 54, about the terrifying event, which took place on Monday in the northern city. 

Several people have been injured after a car ploughed into a crowd of Liverpool fans on Water Street during their Premier League victory parade yesterday (27 May 2025) evening. 

Eyewitness Chelsea heard the driver slamming his horn, which prompted her to roll out of the way, and although she’s grateful to be alive, she is suffering with survivor’s guilt. 

Recalling what had happened, Chelsea said: ‘When the car came plummeting down it was inevitable it was going to hit people.’

She added: ‘Absolutely everybody was walking up the street.

‘When we heard the beeping of the driver that was coming through the crowds, that’s when we looked up and seen the car coming towards us. 

‘We just narrowly missed being hit and we were able to jump out the way into as much safety as we could be.

‘Then unfortunately it carried on and continued into the other people behind us.’ 

Ed then pointed out that neither Chelsea or her family members were hurt, but that it was a traumatic experience that will haunt her forever. 

Chelsea said: ‘We were grateful that we were safe, we weren’t hurt but then we almost feel guilty now that children were hurt. 

‘The tragedy is a lot worse than we thought it was at the time. 

‘We didn’t know what it was, we didn’t know whether it was a tower or somebody or drunk or even somebody who had a heart attack while drinking. 

‘We just didn’t know what it was.

‘So we were angry at first, then scared  when we started seeing the people lying on the floor as we walked up the street a bit further.’ 

Susanna said: ‘Obviously, shocking that four people got trapped underneath the car and firefighters had to lift the car and one of those people was a child. 

‘That makes it so much more upsetting, doesn’t it?

‘This is what is so shocking.

‘It’s a family event, families everywhere, prams, kids on their dads’ shoulders.

‘Although it’s an obscene amount of people that have been hurt, seriously hurt, I’m surprised there wasn’t more. 

‘But it hurts more that there were kids involved.’

British police said they had arrested a 53-year-old white male, and that the incident was not terrorism related.

The Liverpool Echo reported that a total of 47 people were injured, with 27 taken to hospital, including an adult and a child in serious condition.  

Four people are still ‘very, very ill in hospital,’ Steve Rotheram, the city’s metro mayor, told the BBC.

‘There are still four people who are very, very ill in hospital and we are hoping of course that they pull through very, very quickly, he said.

Nick Searle, a spokesman for the region’s fire and rescue service said four people who were trapped under the minivan, including a child, were rescued by firefighters.
