Liverpool parade crash trial to remain in city

The trial of a man accused of deliberately driving a car into a crowd at Liverpool FC's victory parade will remain in the city.

Paul Doyle, 53, is due to stand trial at Liverpool Crown Court in November after being charged with seven offences including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

The dad-of-three was arrested after a Ford Galaxy car struck fans making their way back from watching the parade in Water Street, in Liverpool city centre, on the evening of 26 May.

Doyle, appearing in court at a case management hearing on video link from prison, spoke only to confirm his name and that he could hear what was being said.
