Number of people injured at Liverpool's victory parade rises to 109
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.

'Guard of honour' for gangland duo at their funeral after drive-by killings
Scottish gangsters Eddie Lyons Junior and Ross Monaghan were gunned down in a nighttime assassination in Andalucia, Spain, and a man has been accused of their murder Gangland figures and their families have gathered for the funeral of slain Scottish thugs Eddie Lyons Junior and Ross Monaghan following their deaths in a nighttime drive-by assassination. The 46 and 43-year-old, who had links to Glasgow's criminal underworld, both died when a masked gunman opened fire at Monaghans Bar in Fuengirola, Andalucia, in late May. Local media reported at the time that their mystery assailant had pulled up outside the crowded bar at 11pm before shooting the pair and speeding away in the same vehicle. Their bodies were repatriated to the UK in June, and laid to rest in Glasgow's Bishopbriggs Crematorium this afternoon. The Daily Record reports that the service began at 3pm today as Lyons Jnr and Monaghan's bodies arrived in coffins being carried by silver funeral cars, where they were greeted with a huge crowd. Figures amongst the throng were spotted queuing to gain entry to the building dressed in black and glittering designer gear, with women seen crying and men standing together to form a "guard of honour" at the crematorium entrance. They had arrived in more than 100 cars, all of which were parked on the premises. The vast majority were large, dark SUVs with blacked out windows, while a selection of other vehicles could be seen parked on the road outside the crematorium. Mourners were guarded by two private security guards clad in yellow jackets, who moved around the perimeter of the car park as the service began. Lyuons Jnr and Monaghan were members of the Lyons crime clan, who have been involved in a long-running feud with the Daniel family, a rival clan with whom they have been warring for almost 25 years. Spanish investigators believe the shootings of the two men, which were carried out in front of horrified tourists having a post Champion's League tipple at the Spanish pub earlier this year, were linked to a rivalry with the Daniel family, The man accused of shooting, Michael Riley, 44, appeared at Wesminster Magistrates' Court in London via videolink from HMP Wandsworth in late June after Spanish police fingered him for the killings. He is yet to be charged, however, with a full extradition hearing expected to be held this year. Mr Riley, who was arrested by Merseyside Police under an international arrest warrant issued by the Spanish authorities, has also not been given the opportunity to respond to allegations made about him by Spanish National Police.
