The motorist who drove into Liverpool fans during a victory parade was allegedly high on drugs, it was revealed yesterday.
The 53-year-old is said to have tailgated an ambulance racing to a heart attack victim before unleashing horror on the city centre's streets.
He struck fans at up to 30mph near the city's waterfront, which had been closed to traffic.
The man was being questioned last night on suspicion of multiple attempted murders, being unfit to drive through drugs and dangerous driving.
Some 50 people, including four children, needed hospital treatment following the carnage at the end of the Premier League champions' open-topped bus celebrations on Monday evening.
