One miraculous escape.

Liverpool Women’s Hospital explosion: Taxi driver David Perry 'lucky to be alive'

The wife of a taxi driver who survived an explosion inside his cab has said he is "lucky to be alive".

David Perry was injured when a homemade bomb exploded shortly after he pulled up outside Liverpool Women's Hospital on Sunday morning.

The passenger, who is believed to have brought the device into the taxi, died at the scene.

Mr Perry's wife Rachel said it had been "an utter miracle" that he had escaped from the vehicle.

Posting on Facebook, she said she felt "some guardian angels" had been looking over him.

Ms Perry also thanked the "amazing staff, doctors and nurses" at the hospital and the police officers and detectives "who have been looking after us".

The explosion has since been declared as a terrorist incident.
