A man from Northern Ireland who was struck by a car at a Liverpool Football Club parade has said his first thought was trying to find his girlfriend.
Jack Trotter, from Newtownards, County Down, and his girlfriend Abbie Gallagher were hit by the car as it drove into fans on Water Street, in Liverpool.
It happened at about 18:00 BST on Monday as thousands of Liverpool FC fans gathered in the city centre for the Premier League victory parade.
“The first thought that I got was: ‘Where’s Abbie? I need to find Abbie. Where’s Abbie?’ You know she could be anywhere at this rate and lucky enough she was screaming my name and I found her,” Mr Trotter told the BBC.
