The road incident in Liverpool, UK, saw a driver lose control, injuring multiple pedestrians, particularly a child who suffered serious injuries. As the situation unfolded, online 'keyboard warriors' quickly speculated on the incident, attempting to fill the gaps left by media reporting.

On June 26, the city of Liverpool celebrated its football team winning the Premier League, with half a million people lining the streets for the victory parade. The driver's reckless intrusion into the crowd shattered the celebratory atmosphere, leading to injuries. Police swiftly arrested the perpetrator within an hour, urging the public against speculating on motives.

In comparison to a similar incident in Taiwan, the prompt release of information by UK police effectively curbed the spread of rumors. Following the crash, authorities quickly confirmed the background and nationality of the driver, a move that received public appreciation, yet sparked discussions on the necessity of proper media engagement.

In response to the rapid online reactions, police clearly need better media strategies to avoid leaving a vacuum in information dissemination that social media influencers can fill. This incident underscores the demand for improved communication skills from police during crises.
