The man accused of deliberately injuring more than 130 people during the Liverpool victory parade crash has pleaded guilty.

Paul Doyle, 54, had been charged with 31 offences relating to the incident on May 26th, when thousands gathered in Liverpool city centre to celebrate the club's Premier League title win.

Doyle previously denied 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.

But in a dramatic turn of events on Wednesday, he changed his pleas by admitting to all charges, which relate to 29 victims aged between six months and 77 years old.

Merseyside Police said 134 people were injured when Doyle allegedly drove his Ford Galaxy Titanium into crowds in Liverpool's city centre parade on Water Street.
