Paul Doyle Pleads Not Guilty to 31 Charges Over Liverpool Parade Crash Injuring 134

Paul Doyle, 53, has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges, including dangerous driving, affray, and multiple counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, after allegedly driving his Ford Galaxy into crowds during Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade in May. The incident on Water Street injured 134 people, ranging from six months to 77 years old, with more than 50 hospitalized. Initially charged with seven offences, Doyle faced an additional 24 charges added later, involving 29 victims including children and babies as young as six months. The prosecution alleges Doyle used his vehicle deliberately as a weapon, with police describing the dangerous driving between his home and the parade location. The case has been adjourned with a provisional trial date set for November 24, expected to last three to four weeks. Doyle appeared via videolink from prison wearing a grey T-shirt, maintaining his not guilty pleas during the court proceedings.
