Man Charged After Liverpool Victory Parade Crash Injures 79

A 53-year-old father-of-three and former Royal Marine has been charged in connection with a car crash that injured 79 people during Liverpool's Premier League victory parade.

Paul Doyle, of Burghill Road in West Derby, was arrested on Monday after a vehicle allegedly driven by him struck crowds gathered on Water Street at around 6:00pm British Summer Time (BST). Among those injured was a nine-year-old child.

According to reports from BBC, Merseyside Police said Doyle now faces multiple serious charges, including several counts of causing and attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent, and one count of dangerous driving.

Seven people remain in hospital as a result of the incident, Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims confirmed during a press conference.

Detectives are continuing to examine a large amount of evidence, including CCTV footage, mobile phone videos, and dashcam recordings. Sarah Hammond, Chief Crown Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in the Mersey-Cheshire region, said witness statements and video from nearby businesses are also being reviewed.

Paul Doyle is scheduled to appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
