A former Royal Marine has arrived at court where he will face charges over the Liverpool parade crash in which 79 people were injured.

A nine-year-old was among those hurt when the car hit supporters on Water Street.

Doyle, a local businessman and father of three, faces multiple counts of causing and attempting to cause unlawful and malicious grievous bodily harm with intent.

Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims, of Merseyside Police, told a news conference seven people remain in hospital after the incident.

They said that Burghill Road was swarming with police in the hours after the crash.

Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims said detectives were reviewing a "huge volume" of CCTV and mobile phone footage.

Doyle has been charged with seven offences, which can be broken down into four groups.

Police confirmed the ages of those injured in the incident ranged from nine to 78.
