A man accused of driving into crowds at Liverpool FC's title parade is due to appear in court today.

More than 130 people, including children, were injured when Paul Doyle allegedly drove his Ford Galaxy vehicle into hordes of fans at the celebrations back on 26 May.

The 53-year-old, of Croxteth, Liverpool, was charged with two counts of wounding with intent, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent, and one count of dangerous driving.

He will appear at Liverpool Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

The trial has been provisionally set for 24 November, and is expected to last three to four weeks.
