The number of people reported injured after a car drove into crowds at Liverpool’s victory parade has risen to more than 100, police have said.
Four people remained in hospital on Monday, a week on from the incident which happened on Water Street, in the city centre, just after 6pm.
In an update, a Merseyside Police spokesman said: “The number of people reported to have been injured currently stands at 109.”
Last week, police said 79 people had been injured.
Paul Doyle, 53, has been charged in connection with the crash and appeared in court last week.
Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson said: “This is a complex and constantly evolving investigation and we are still working through and assessing those reporting being injured and our inquiries remain ongoing.
“I would like to thank everyone who has been in touch with us so far to give witness accounts or supply information or video footage. The response so far has been of great assistance in progressing the investigation.
“We have had more than 500 submissions to the Major Incident Police Portal (MIPP) and a team of detectives are currently working through the information provided.
“I would continue to appeal for anyone who has information and is yet to come forward to please get in touch as a matter of urgency.”
Those injured and their families are being supported by specialist officers and police are being assisted in the investigation by forces in Greater Manchester, Cumbria, Lancashire, North Wales and Cheshire.
Doyle, reported to be a former Royal Marine, from Croxteth, Liverpool, is charged with two counts of wounding with intent, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and one count of dangerous driving.
The offences relate to six victims, including two children aged 11 and 17.
He was remanded in custody after appearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday and is due appear for a plea hearing on August 14.
Detective Superintendent Wilson said: “As a person has now been charged in connection with this incident, I would like to remind people not to speculate or share information or footage which could in any way jeopardise the case.
“We understand that emotions are still running high, and people are seeking answers, but it is vital that we allow the matter to go through the judicial process.”
Police previously said they believed the car that struck pedestrians was able to follow an ambulance crew attending to someone suffering a heart attack after a road block during Liverpool FC’s celebrations was temporarily lifted.
