Paul Doyle faces counts including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent during Monday’s incident in the northwestern English city, authorities said.
UK media reported that Doyle was a businessman and former marine, with three teenage children.
He has previously competed in triathlons and enjoyed luxury holidays.
Neighbours in his quiet suburb claimed his wife only found out about the crash when she saw the car on the news, The Sun reported.
Police have been outside his four-bedroom family home where he lived with his teacher wife and three children since Monday.
I highly recommend everyone do a google search of “Florida Man 15 June” but with their birthday. Check the news articles for the day, guaranteed hilarity. Every day of the year has a different comedic gift to find.

Magnus Carlson wins his 7th Norwegian Chess title, despite some very uncharacteristic errors , particularly against Gukesh that threw away a certain win.
He seems increasingly irritable and bored with classical chess format. As does Hikaru, which is interesting as neither are “old” in their mid 30’s , they are still 1 and 2 in the world, but how long can you play this game before the shine wears off ?

At the UN Ocean Conference in Nice ( co-sponsored by France and Costa Rica) the UNSG urged countries to ratify the Agreement on Marine Biodiversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction.
Australia is yet to ratify the treaty, presumably because of the caretaker convention. It will need to complete the Parliamentary procedures of the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties before a signing off by the GG in Executive Council
In the context of the Deep Seabed Authority, the UNSG warned against the deep seabed becoming the Wild West…

Very concerning signs that something is about to kick off with Iran. The US is evacuating the Iraq embassy, sending military families home from the region. Israeli military is on extreme alert.
If a strike on Iranian enrichment facilities was about to happen, this is what the lead up would look like.

President Donald Trump confirmed on Wednesday that United States personnel are being “moved out” of parts of the Middle East amid escalating tensions with Israel and Iran.
“Well, they are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place, and we’ll see what happens. But they are – we’ve given notice to move out. We’ll see what happens,” Trump, who was walking the red carpet at the Kennedy Center, told reporters.
The State Department ordered the departure of all nonessential staff from its embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, due to concern over increased security risks in the region, according to two State Department officials familiar with the matter.
Another U.S. official said that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the Middle East.
Asked if there was anything that could be done to lower the temperature with Iran, Trump said: “They can’t have a nuclear weapon, personally. They can’t have a nuclear weapon. We’re not going to allow that.”
Trump’s comments on Wednesday come as the administration has worked to reach a deal with Tehran to limit its nuclear program. The two sides have held several rounds of talks, but have not come to an agreement.
The world’s media are concentrated on the manufactured LA issue. Still, the above takes some reading between the lines. ‘Non essential’, ‘voluntary’. Who knows what those terms mean under Hegseth/Trump

Trump has been all over the shop on this one.
He has been telling Israel to not attack, then prepare an attack, then don’t do anything, then telling them it’s ok now.
It’s all around the deal he is trying to do with Iran on the nuclear weapons as already noted. Each day he basically changes his mind depending on how the negotiations are going.
Israel on the other hand already knows how far along Iran is on this issue and is getting rather antsy about it.
