The pub was packed with hundreds of customers in the hours before the crash due to the unofficial long weekend before Tuesday's Melbourne Cup public holiday, with families gathering near an ice cream shop set up on the lawn. The driver is believed to have suffered a medical episode, did not have drugs or alcohol in his system and his only previous brushes with the law are speeding tickets. Police confirmed four victims died at the scene and one in hospital in the hours after the crash. Several people were injured. Among the dead was a boy, believed to be aged six, and a teenage girl. A man and a woman in their 30s and a woman aged in her 40s were also killed. A second six-year-old boy broke both his legs and was left fighting for life, but has since recovered, and is in a stable condition. Two men, aged 43 and 38 years old, a 35-year-old woman and an 11-month old baby boy were injured in the crash and are also believed to be in a stable condition. Police said the victims belonged to two families that knew each other and were not locals, but visitors who were 'just going about their everyday life... on a beautiful sunny afternoon'. Witnesses believe the 66-year-old man was experiencing a medical episode, with one claiming the man's eyes appeared to be 'glazed over'.
