Prosecutor Paul Greaney has been describing how Paul Doyle pressed on, “causing more and more injury”.
More dashcam is played, with a circle highlighting one victim, a woman in a red coat, who can be seen screaming in fear and pain as she is thrown onto the bonnet and then backwards on to the road.
Anna Bilonozhenko required surgery for a serious fracture of her right knee.
Others around her included a 13-year-old boy and a paramedic James Vernon, who was on his bicycle leading an ambulance through the crowd to where a member of the public was thought to be suffering a heart attack.
A few moments later, Simon Nash was struck at considerable speed and thrown some distance from the vehicle.
He sustained a laceration to the back of his head, rib fractures and multiple abrasions.
Mr Greaney says: “Paul Doyle then drove the vehicle sharply to the right, away from an area of road that was relatively free of people and into an area that was particularly densely populated with fans. The Galaxy struck a number of pedestrians at this stage. One of those struck was a woman named Sheree Aldridge.
“She suffered extensive bruising and abrasions to both legs; a scan revealed a [severe] injury to her left thigh – an injury that stripped the top layers of skin and tissue from the underlying muscle – and she required extensive medical treatment to drain fluid from the injury site.
“Sheree Aldridge had been pushing a pram containing her young son aged nearly six months, Teddy Eveson.
“The pram was struck and thrown, but mercifully Teddy was, as we have said, uninjured.”
