"Victims of Paul Doyle were left in tears as harrowing details of his dangerous driving were read out in court, after he crashed into and injured 134 people at a Liverpool FC victory parade. On Monday, prosecutors said the former Royal Marine had used his Ford Galaxy as a weapon and that his anger had completely taken hold of him, causing injuries to children as young as six months old."
"The 54-year-old wept in the dock as shocking dashcam footage was shown, with Doyle heard repeatedly shouting get out the f****** way while colliding with dozens of football fans. Hero ex-soldier Daniel Barr bravely climbed into Doyle's car and brought it to a standstill, which ended the two-minute anger-fuelled rampage. After his arrest, he told police officers: I've just ruined my family's life, and claimed he had panicked."
"It's an hour until the sentencing hearing for Paul Doyle resumes, and like yesterday we are expecting a packed-out courtroom given the public interest in the case. The case takes place in a courtroom on the fourth floor of Liverpool Crown Court, which is an eight-minute walk from Water Street, where Paul Doyle drove his vehicle at crowds at the Liverpool parade back in May."
Paul Doyle, a 54-year-old former Royal Marine, used his Ford Galaxy to drive into crowds at a Liverpool FC victory parade, injuring 134 people. Dashcam footage captured him shouting aggressively while colliding with dozens of fans. A former soldier, Daniel Barr, climbed into the vehicle and stopped it after about two minutes, ending the rampage. Victims range from infants to adults and report physical injuries, emotional and psychological harm, and frequent flashbacks. Doyle pleaded guilty to 31 offences, wept in the dock, later told police he had panicked and said he had ruined his family's life.
