Paul Doyle, 53, has been charged with seven offences over the Liverpool parade crash
A man has been charged with seven offences after a car ploughed into crowds celebrating Liverpool’s Premier League title victory.
Paul Doyle, 53, from West Derby, Liverpool is accused of dangerous driving, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, wounding with intent to cause injury, and attempting to cause GBH with intent when he ploughed into football fans celebrating Liverpool FC's title win.
The dad of three was identified on May 29 and will appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ court on Friday.
Police were stationed outside his family home this afternoon, where Doyle lives with his wife and their three sons.
Loved-up pictures on social media show the family enjoying various holidays including Disneyland Florida, Dubai and at the beach, reports the Mirror.
The pictures are a far cry from the dramatic scenes that unfolded on Water Street, where bloodied football fans and injured children had to be carried from the scene and rushed to hospital.

In an update posted on Wednesday afternoon, police said the total number injured was now at 79, but more people had been discharged from hospital. Today it was revealed the casualties' ages range between 9 and 78 years old.

We continue to support those still receiving treatment and as part of our ongoing enquiries we are identifying more people who were injured.
