The man accused of the Liverpool parade crash has changed his pleas to guilty.
Paul Doyle admitted on the second day of his trial to seriously injuring people when he drove into football fans celebrating Liverpool’s victory parade on May 26.
The 54-year-old 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 at Liverpool Crown Court this morning.
A jury was sworn in for his trial on Tuesday but today, when the prosecution case was due to be opened, Doyle was asked to re-enter his pleas to the charges.

He sat with his head down and sobbed as he changed his pleas, speaking with a broken voice as he occasionally wiped away tears as the charges were read to him again.
He had previously denied the offences which happened as crowds were gathered in the city to celebrate the football team’s Premier League title win.
More than 130 people reported injuries after Doyle drove his Ford Galaxy Titanium into crowds on Water Street just after 6pm.
