Liverpool Parade Crash Suspect Faces Court on Multiple Injury Charges

Paul Doyle, 53, has appeared via videolink at Liverpool Crown Court ahead of his trial scheduled for November 25, where he faces multiple charges including dangerous driving, affray, and numerous counts of attempting to cause and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The allegations stem from an incident on May 26 during Liverpool's Premier League victory parade, where Doyle is accused of driving a Ford Galaxy Titanium into crowds on Water Street, injuring 134 people ranging in age from six months to 77 years. Among the alleged victims is Teddy Eveson, a baby who was reportedly dragged 15 feet during the incident. The charges involve 29 victims, including seven unnamed children due to legal reasons. Doyle pleaded not guilty to all charges last month and was remanded in custody, with a further pre-trial hearing set for November 18. The trial is expected to last three to four weeks and will be presided over by Honorary Recorder of Liverpool Judge Andrew Menary KC.
