Liverpool crash suspect's wife 'only found out about horror after seeing car on TV'
The 53-year-old man, who is married with three teenage children, remains in custody after officers were granted extra time to question him. Neighbours of a man who allegedly rammed his car into a crowd at Liverpool FC's victory parade say his wife only found out about the horror when she "saw her car on the TV news". The 53-year-old man, who is married with three teenage children, remains in custody after officers were granted extra time to question him. As they expressed their shock at the arrest, neighbours in West Derby, Liverpool, have described him as "a fantastic guy" and "a family man". One also told The Sun: "She [the wife] first realised when she saw it was her car on the telly, when she saw it being driven at the parade. The normal police cars turned up at teatime then Matrix van turned up later that night." As reported by the Mirror, Merseyside Police's extension came in on Wednesday and remains in place until Thursday. The force also said seven people remained in hospital in a stable condition after the collision on Water Street on Monday. In total they have identified 79 people who were injured in the incident. The suspect, who Merseyside Police described as "white British", was arrested on Monday after a car careered into the pedestrians celebrating Liverpool FC's second Premier League title. Neighbours assumed the family had been victims of a burglary after police arrived at the suspect's home soon after the horror. One said: "It's completely out of character. They are a nice family, the boys are well behaved. He is a fantastic guy. "It just doesn't make any sense... The family is lovely. The whole thing is so sad – for his wife and children and for all those people who were hurt and injured." The suspect, who is thought to be a former company director, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and drug driving. The Prime Minister visited Liverpool on Wednesday afternoon to speak to police chiefs about the incident. Keir Starmer travelled to the force headquarters in Liverpool city centre to meet Deputy Chief Constable Chris Green, Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims, Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell and Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram. He told the meeting: "The scenes on Monday were just awful, to see how incredible joy at an amazing achievement turned to horror in a moment. "Steve, the mayor, has been keeping me informed and updated along with my team but it's really important to be here to go through this first hand with you, so thank you for making time and ensuring that I get to see the detail in the way that I'd like to." Messages of support have been sent to the people of Liverpool, including from King Charles who said: "I know that the strength of community spirit for which your city is renowned will be a comfort and support to those in need." The Prince and Princess of Wales also said they were "deeply saddened" by the parade crash, adding: "What should have been a joyful celebration ended with tragedy."

Alleged Liverpool parade crash suspect's wife 'realised when she saw her car'
The wife of a man accused of driving his car into a crowd at Liverpool FC's victory parade reportedly discovered the terrifying incident when she "saw her car on the TV news," according to neighbours. The 53 year old man, who is married with three teenage children, remains in police custody as authorities were granted additional time for questioning. Neighbours in West Derby, Liverpool, have described him as "a fantastic guy" and "a family man", expressing their shock at his arrest. One neighbour told The Sun: "She [the wife] first realised when she saw it was her car on the telly, when she saw it being driven at the parade. The normal police cars turned up at teatime then Matrix van turned up later that night." Merseyside Police's extension was granted on Wednesday and lasts until Thursday. The force also reported that seven people are still in hospital in a stable condition following the collision on Water Street on Monday, and they have identified 79 individuals who were injured in the incident. The suspect, described by Merseyside Police as "white British", was arrested on Monday hours after a car ploughed into pedestrians celebrating Liverpool FC's second Premier League title, reports the Mirror. When police arrived at the suspect's home shortly after the incident, neighbours initially thought the family had been victims of a burglary. One said: "It's completely out of character. They are a nice family, the boys are well behaved. He is a fantastic guy. "It just doesn't make any sense... The family is lovely. The whole thing is so sad – for his wife and children and for all those people who were hurt and injured." After the devastating incident, the suspected former company director was arrested by police on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and drug offences. As the city tries to come to terms with the horror, Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Liverpool on Wednesday afternoon to speak with key local officials and police chiefs about the shocking event. The PM went to the police headquarters in the heart of Liverpool to have a sit-down with Deputy Chief Constable Chris Green, Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims, Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell and Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram. He said: "The scenes on Monday were just awful, to see how incredible joy at an amazing achievement turned to horror in a moment. "Steve, the mayor, has been keeping me informed and updated along with my team but it's really important to be here to go through this first hand with you, so thank you for making time and ensuring that I get to see the detail in the way that I'd like to." Solidarity for Liverpool folk has been pouring in thick and fast, with King Charles chucking out a message stating: "I know that the strength of community spirit for which your city is renowned will be a comfort and support to those in need." The Prince and Princess of Wales said they are "deeply saddened" by the mess of the parade crash, adding: "What should have been a joyful celebration ended with tragedy."

Candidates label lack of electoral roll map a 'disaster'
A lack of a map which displays people on Guernsey's electoral roll has been described as a "disaster" by a candidate in the upcoming general election. A number of prospective deputies have criticised a decision not to provide such material, which was available in 2020. Former President of the Scrutiny Management Committee Chris Green said the development was "terrible" for the electorate. The States of Guernsey has been contacted for a response. Outside of the Royal Court, where nominations to become a candidate are submitted, a number of potential politicians expressed dismay at the news. One said: "Frankly, I despair. We're not too far away from gerrymandering, accidental or otherwise, but one thing it is for sure is another sign of the ill health of our local democracy."Another, who is currently a States member, agreed: "It's an absolute disaster for me, I really relied on the map last time. "I enjoyed getting on the doorstep, meeting people and getting people's views. "It's really important to know what people think on the island."An unsuccessful candidate from 2020's general election said it was "very useful" last time around and he could not understand why it was not being provided this time around. 'On the doorstep' Green, who is not standing for election, said: "Canvassing door-to-door should be a key part of this election... hence the candidates ought to be given the right tools to facilitate it. Online campaigns are not impressive to me. "I want to see candidates out there, walking the parishes, sweating blood and being asked challenging questions on the doorsteps. This news is candidate who is currently a States deputy said she did not mind the change and did not feel it would impact said: "In 2020, I enjoyed walking areas of each parish without using the electoral roll."Everyone was very kind and happy to engage. I found it a really positive experience and shall be doing so again on the lead-up to the election."Voters will be able to cast up to 38 votes - one for each available States seat - on 18 June.

ScanTech AI Systems to Unveil its CustomsTrace AI™ to Pioneer Goods Verification in a Shifting Tariff Landscape
A Forward-Looking Platform Designed to Empower Customs with AI-Driven Goods Identification and Trade Compliance Scan Tech LogoAtlanta, GA, April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (the 'Company' or 'ScanTech AI') (Nasdaq: STAI), a global innovator in non-intrusive, fixed-gantry CT (Computed Tomography) screening technologies, today announced the initial development of its CustomsTrace AI™ platform, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at addressing what is anticipated to be one of the most pressing challenges in today's global trade environment, accurate identification and verification of tariff-sensitive goods at national borders including the prevention of unauthorized or illicit importation of restricted items. As tariff regulations and international trade policies continue to shift, governments and industries alike are expected to seek technology partners capable of enabling intelligent enforcement without disrupting supply chain fluidity. In response to the potential needs, ScanTech AI is harnessing its core competencies in high-resolution imaging and machine learning in an effort to pioneer a solution where only a few definitive validation platforms currently exist. These core technologies have been developed by ScanTech AI over the past decade. Their application in a new initiative to rapidly identify tariff-sensitive goods and unauthorized imports, without disrupting the flow of legitimate trade, is a capability that only a select few companies currently possess, including ScanTech AI. 'The CustomsTrace AI™ interface represents the potential to redefine how nations manage border security and enforce trade policy,' said Dr. Chris Green, Chief Technology Officer at ScanTech AI. 'By fusing our advanced CT imaging with adaptive classification algorithms, we are building the foundation for what we aim to be an AI-powered ecosystem that enables operators to act on real-time, data-driven insights, improving both the speed and accuracy of goods screening at scale.' The Company will actively engage with its Board of Directors, comprised of former senior leaders from Customs and other regulatory agencies, along with early customer stakeholders, to help shape the development roadmap and ensure the platform aligns with mission-critical enforcement needs. The Company considers it a distinct advantage to have such a highly experienced and strategically connected group guiding its efforts. 'As the former Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, I can attest that this technology is a vital tool in safeguarding our nation from a wide range of threats and vulnerabilities, whether related to terrorism or our capacity to identify and assess tariffs, which are critical to our economic security,' said Ralph Basham, former Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Director of the U.S. Secret Service. ScanTech AI plans to integrate the CustomsTrace AI™ platform directly into its industry-proven fixed-gantry CT systems, offering freight, logistics, and customs operations an innovative tool to support regulatory compliance, trade transparency, and national security in the face of a complex and evolving tariff landscape. 'With fewer than a handful of comprehensive solutions currently available in the market, we believe that our CustomsTrace AI™ platform will uniquely position ScanTech AI to lead a category with exceptional growth potential,' said D. Williams Sr., Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ScanTech AI. 'We are committed to redefining the future of intelligent border management—where advanced innovation not only safeguards national borders but also strengthens the integrity of global trade by replacing outdated, trust-based declaration systems with real-time, technology-driven verification.' Regardless of how the global tariff landscape evolves, ScanTech AI believes that the demand for a solution like CustomsTrace AI™ will remain both timely and essential. For years, industry has lacked a unified, technology-driven approach to real-time goods verification, making it difficult to ensure consistent accuracy, streamline inspections, and support evolving compliance requirements. CustomsTrace AI™ aims to address this longstanding need by providing a scalable platform that enhances visibility, strengthens trade integrity, and supports smarter, more adaptive customs operations. This announcement reinforces ScanTech AI's strategic vision: to anticipate global enforcement needs, invest in AI-driven innovation, and deliver advanced solutions that drive stockholder value while addressing some of the most critical issues facing the trade and security sectors today. About ScanTech AI Systems ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: STAI) has developed one of the world's most advanced non-intrusive 'fixed-gantry' CT screening technologies.
