Judge Menary told Doyle as he sentenced him: “It is difficult, if not impossible, to convey in words alone the scene of devastation you caused.
“It shows you, quite deliberately, accelerating into groups of fans time and time again.
“You struck people head-on, knocked others onto the bonnet, drove over limbs, crushed prams and forced those nearby to scatter in terror.”
Judge Menary continued: “You ploughed on at speed and over a considerable distance, violently knocking people aside or simply driving over them – person, after person, after person.
“You accelerated forwards and backwards repeatedly, several victims became trapped beneath the vehicle as you continued to move it.
“Others were thrown into the air or propelled across the ground.”
He added Doyle acted in an “inexplicable and undiluted fury” when he ploughed into more than 100 people in the space of two minutes – and was only stopped after a bystander managed to get inside the automatic vehicle to force its gear selector into park mode.
