PA MediaThe final person receiving hospital treatment after the Liverpool FC title parade crash has been discharged.
More than 100 people were injured when a car hit the crowd near the end of the Reds’ Premier League victory parade in Liverpool city centre on 26 May.
Fifty people were taken to hospital after the incident on Water Street.
The force has now confirmed all those who had received NHS care had been permitted to return home.
Chief Constable Serena Kennedy confirmed the majority of people injured had already been discharged when she addressed a scrutiny panel earlier this month, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
Chief Constable Kennedy said officers who responded to the scene on 26 May had done an “outstanding job” and praised all those on duty, particularly those who were injured in the course of protecting the public.
Emily Spurrell, Merseyside police and crime commissioner, praised the work of officers and described the incident on Water Street as “really upsetting” after a successful weekend of events.
Trial
Paul Doyle, of Burghill Road in West Derby, has since been charged with a series of alleged offences in relation to the incident.
The 53-year-old has been accused of two counts of wounding with intent, two charges of inflicting grievous bodily harm, two of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm and dangerous driving.
A trial date has been scheduled for 24 November, provisionally lasting for three to four weeks. A plea hearing is scheduled for 14 August.
