The man accused of being the driver that ploughed into crowds at the Liverpool FC victory parade, has appeared briefly in court.
Paul Doyle, aged 53, was brought before Liverpool Magistrates' Court this morning.
He is accused of seven offences following the incident on Water Street in the city centre on Monday, which resulted in 79 people suffering injuries.
District Judge Paul Healey asked for the defendant to identify himself and Mr Doyle confirmed his name, gave his date of birth and address in Liverpool.
The hearing was adjourned seven minutes later as the court dealt with reporting restriction matters ahead of a resumption.
No charges were put to Mr Doyle, with the hearing expected to resume shortly before a further hearing later today at Liverpool Crown Court.
