An SUV that left the road and crashed into the beer garden of a regional Victorian pub has killed five people and left seven others injured.
Children are among those killed and injured after a car ploughed through a regional Victorian pub in what police described as a confronting scene that could haunt first responders forever. Two family groups who knew each other were at the Royal Daylesford Hotel sitting in the roadside beer garden when a BMW SUV came down the street, mounted the kerb and hit patrons. A young boy, a teenage girl, two men in their 30s and a woman in her 40s were killed.
" quite traumatic for a number of those patients, particularly the four that were airlifted to hospital," he told reporters on Monday. Daylesford was a close-knit community and some of the initial crews were from the area, he said. "You never want to respond to any incident like this but certainly not in your home town," Weston said. Paramedics will be offered support in coming days and weeks.
