Five people have been killed and six others injured after a car ploughed into the outdoor dining area of a pub in Australia.
The horror crash saw a luxury BMW SUV mount the kerb and crash into the crowded roadside beer garden of the Royal Daylesford Hotel in the rural town of Daylesford, northwest of Melbourne.
A boy, two men in their 30s and a woman in her 40s died at the scene, police said. A teenage girl was flown to a Melbourne hospital where she died on Sunday night.
Two boys, aged 11 months and around six years old, were taken to hospitals in stable conditions.
Three adults remained in a Melbourne hospital on Monday, including a 35-year-old woman who was in intensive care.
The 66-year-old driver of the car was also among those taken to hospital after the crash. He suffered shock and minor injuries and remained under police guard, Victoria Police chief commissioner Shane Patton said.
Police investigators were on Monday trying to determine how the crash happened.
The driver tested negative for alcohol and his blood was being analysed for other impairing substances, Mr Patton said.
Police had yet to interview the driver, whose only prior record was for speeding offences.
Investigators did not yet know if excessive speed was a factor in the accident, Mr Patton said.
