A 53-year-old man faces multiple charges after a vehicle collided with a crowd in Liverpool, injuring nearly 80 during a soccer celebration.
On Thursday, officials confirmed that Paul Doyle, 53, has been charged with seven offenses, including dangerous driving, after a vehicle drove into a crowd celebrating Liverpool F.C.’s Premier League win earlier this week.

Additionally, he faces accusations of “unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.”
Sims expressed the collective shock and sorrow of the Liverpool community, acknowledging the public’s concerns and highlighting the ongoing investigation. “Our detectives are working tirelessly with diligence and professionalism to seek answers to all of those questions,” she stated.
Sarah Hammond, the regional chief prosecutor, added that charges may evolve as the investigation progresses, suggesting that further offenses could be introduced or existing charges could be revised.
