I feel lost': Liverpool Parade victims on crippling impact of life-changing crash

The Independent presents itself as providing on-the-ground reporting across major issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. It highlights investigations into political and financial influence and documentary work focused on American women fighting for reproductive rights. It frames its mission as separating facts from messaging and argues that quality journalism should be accessible without paywalls. The text then shifts to a survivor’s account of the Liverpool victory parade tragedy on 26 May 2025. It describes prosecutors showing only a brief portion of CCTV footage in court. It details ongoing nightmares, flashbacks, and physical injuries for survivors, including job loss and severe back damage. It also recounts the lasting impact of the attack on a survivor’s family, including a baby son being thrown down the road.

"The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."

"The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. Your support makes all the difference."

"Letting off a deep sigh, Dan Eveson dwells on the horrific sequence of events of the Liverpool victory parade that left him with life-changing injuries and a daily reminder of the terror he experienced that day. The cries, screams and agony as Paul Doyle rammed his car through innocent crowds are never sounded out, he says. The anger burns strongly inside him, still."

"So violent was the tragedy on 26 May 2025 that prosecutors opted to show just 140 seconds of the CCTV footage inside the hushed courtroom but that was enough. For the survivors, the harrowing ordeal lives on 12 months later; in nightmares, flashbacks and physical injuries. Mr Eveson, 37, an ex-soldier with the Royal Military Police, but it is last year's tragedy in Liverpool that impacts him most, having lost his factory job because of the severe back injuries he now lives with as a result of the car ramming."
