Liverpool parade crash: Paul Doyle sentenced to 21 years and six months in jail - ESPN

The driver who plowed through crowds at Liverpool's victory parade, injuring 134 supporters, has been jailed for 21 years and six months.

Paul Doyle, 54, was traveling into the city center to collect friends on May 26 when he «lost his temper» and drove his Ford Galaxy directly into supporters making their way home from the Premier League title celebrations.

Dashcam footage from the vehicle, played in court, showed the shocking moments when fans were thrown onto the hood of the car or fell underneath as he accelerated down Water Street, which had been closed to traffic, at about 6 p.m.

Doyle, who could be heard in the footage swearing and shouting at supporters to move, had initially denied 31 offenses he was charged with.

But on Nov. 26, moments before the prosecution was due to open his trial, he changed his pleas to admit all the charges.

The former Royal Marine cried as he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, affray, 17 charges of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, nine counts of causing GBH with intent and three counts of wounding with intent.

The 29 victims named in the indictment ranged in age from 6-month-old Teddy Eveson, whose pram was thrown in the air in the crash, and 77-year-old Susan Passey.

At sentencing, judge Andrew Menary KC told the defendant he acted in an «inexplicable and undiluted fury» when he plowed into crowds.

He told Doyle: «It is almost impossible to comprehend how any right-thinking person could act as you did.

»To drive a vehicle into crowds of pedestrians with such persistence and disregard for human life defies ordinary understanding."

The judge added: «Your actions caused horror and devastation on a scale not previously encountered by this court.»
