One person has died and another is fighting for their life after a car swerved in Comic Con fans in Melbourne.
Fans standing outside the Supanova Comic Con at Melbourne Showgrounds were hit by a grey Toyota after it mounted the pavement at 5pm.
Two pedestrians were hit, with one declared dead at the scene and the other suffering life-threatening injuries.
A witness, Tom, told The Age: ‘I heard a screech and a guy (allegedly) mounted the kerb at an erratic speed, hit a couple people.’
The car reportedly did a U-turn and drove back down the street, stalled and a group of witnesses tried to apprehend them.
Tom said: ‘He was erratic. ‘I said, “you’re not going anywhere mate”.’
