The father of a student killed in the Nottingham attacks has said the survivors also deserve answers from a public inquiry into what happened.
Wayne Birkett, Sharon Miller and Marcin Gawronski were all seriously injured after Valdo Calocane hit them with a stolen van in the city centre on 13 June 2023.
Earlier that morning, he fatally stabbed students Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, and caretaker Ian Coates, 65.
Grace's father, Sanjoy Kumar, described the pedestrians as "living victims" and said everyone affected by the attacks was "united" ahead of a judge-led public inquiry announced earlier in the year.
Dr Kumar's comments came after Ms Miller, 46, and Mr Birkett, 61, shared their stories for the first time and explained how they feel a strong sense of survivor's guilt.
Mr Birkett said: "I would have swapped my life for one of those poor students – without a doubt.
"It was awful hearing what happened to them [in the court case]. What happened to me was nothing compared to that."
While Ms Miller added: "When I heard what had happened to Barnaby or Grace, I thought, 'I wish he'd took me instead of them'.
"They were so young and still had their lives ahead of them – you just feel so guilty."
