A taxi driver is being hailed as a hero after he allegedly locked a suspicious passenger in his cab before the vehicle exploded outside a Liverpool hospital. The car, which belonged to David Perry, was engulfed in a fireball outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital yesterday morning. 

The passenger was killed in the back, after he asked to be driven to the Service of Remembrance at Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral a mile away. Perry allegedly suffered minor injuries including cuts, bruises and ear drum damage. The father of two has already been discharged from hospital. 

Three men have been arrested in connection with the incident, with anti-terror police performing a series of raids in a developing investigation. The man first asked Perry to pull over outside the hospital when they found out that they could not get to the event due to blocked streets. 

Perry noticed some kind of light attached to the man’s clothing and acted quick. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Liverpool Mayor Joanne Anderson thanked Perry and expressed their thoughts for those who were impacted by the incident.

Yet another life has been lost following the tragic event at Astroworld 2021. The tenth victim is Ezra Blount, a nine-year-old boy who died from his injuries. The boy was allegedly on his father’s shoulders when a huge crowd surge happened during the performance. 

His father Treston allegedly passed out, resulting in Ezra being trampled by the raging crowd and sustaining several injuries. Going into cardiac arrest, Ezra was placed in a medically induced coma at hospital to help reduce swelling. He unfortunately passed away on Sunday November 14th. 

Treston, waking up after passing out, rushed to an on-site medic to find his son. He was eventually found in a nearby hospital after he was admitted under the name John Doe due to him having no ID on him. Family attorney Ben Crump said that the entire family is grieving the incomprehensible loss of their precious young son. 

‘This should not have been the outcome to taking their son to a concert, what should have been a joyful celebration.
