An 18-year-old rugby fan lost control of his vehicle and drove into a crowd celebrating their team.
A car crashed into a crowd of rugby league supporters on Saturday in the Australian city of Newcastle, injuring at least ten people. The crowd had gathered in the suburb of Wallsend to cheer for the Newcastle Knights team as they departed for a championship game in Sydney.
Among the injured were three children, Deutsche Welle and Al Jazeera reported. Two people, a five-year-old girl and a 67-year-old man, were listed in critical condition. The other eight injured were in stable condition in the hospital.
Police arrested the 18-year-old driver at the scene. The mayor of Newcastle, Gavin Morris, said the driver was a fan who had been excitedly revving his car before the crash. Morris told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the young man lost control of the vehicle and drove into the crowd.
Authorities said the driver was taken to a hospital for mandatory testing. Police stated their initial investigation indicated the incident was not related to terrorism.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the event a 'horrible incident' in a social media post. He said the weekend should have been one of excitement for fans, as rugby league typically brings people together.
The Newcastle Knights were scheduled to play the Sydney Roosters in the National Rugby League grand final on Sunday.
