One person has died and another is being treated for serious injuries after a car exploded outside the Liverpool Women’s Hospital on Sunday, according to police.

It comes after images of a vehicle on fire, reportedly in the NHS site’s car park, were shared on social media.

Three people have been arrested by counter-terror police following a fatal car explosion outside a Liverpool hospital.

The men are aged 29, 26, and 21 according to police and were detained in the Kensington area of Liverpool before being arrested under the Terrorism Act, in connection with the explosion.

Word from Liverpool is that the taxi driver sussed what was going on and locked his doors so the bomber couldn't get out and into the hospital

Not at time of writing being categorised as a terrorism offence, but I can't imagine any other outcome.

It appears the taxi driver is a bit of a hero.

Not at time of writing being categorised as a terrorism offence, ..

Not a terrorism offence, with enough exlosives to blow up a hospital?

All I can say is someone must have been pretty pissed off with long waiting times!

From initial accounts sounds like the taxi driver is a hero

Video shows taxi driver was in vehicle when it exploded. Miraculously managed to survive, opened the driver door and run out of the car after the explosion

At the time of writing that was the official stance. I agree with you that I'm sure that will change. (It wasn't enough to blow up a hospital, but it was enough to kill quite a few people).

Nice they've kept the audio of the cheery radio burbling away in the background.

Quite a detonator, judging from the explosion. OTOH, I know a woman who's husband died due to a detonator going off in his hand.
