Liverpool parade driver ploughed into crowds 'in a rage', prosecutors say ahead of sentencing
Paul Doyle injured 134 Liverpool fans during title celebrations, with 50 hospitalized, after deliberately driving into crowds, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
- On Monday, Paul Doyle is due to be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court over two days after pleading guilty to 31 criminal charges last month.
- On May 26, the 54-year-old left a Liverpool suburb cul-de-sac in a Ford Galaxy Titanium amid hundreds of thousands of fans celebrating Liverpool's Premier League victory.
- Doyle drove for seven minutes, striking people with the nearly two-tonne vehicle; 134 injured, 50 requiring hospital treatment, including 29 victims aged six months to 77 years and a six-month-old baby.
- Judge Andrew Menary warned Paul Doyle to prepare for a custodial sentence of some length and noted the maximum penalty for the most serious offences is life imprisonment.
- The prosecutors planned to submit dashcam footage showing Doyle lose his temper, and Merseyside Police said the incident was not terrorism, with a man pushing the gear into park to stop the vehicle.
