The prosecution has just played, on courtroom TV screens, a truly astonishing piece of video footage from the dashboard camera in Paul Doyle’s Ford Galaxy.
It begins as Doyle drives down Dale Street towards Water Street. Immediately, it is obvious how crowded the road was.
As Doyle progresses down the road, pedestrians can be seen starting to jump out of the way. One man is seen pulling his children to safety.
What happens next is difficult to watch, and people in court are visibly emotional.
As Doyle screams expletives and repeats “move out of the road”, men, women, and children are mown down, the thuds of them bouncing off the bonnet and the windscreen clearly audible.
The panic is clearly visible in their faces, and some are dragged under the wheel.
After just over a minute, the car stops, and the furious crowd swarm around the vehicle.
This is when the footage ends.
