MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — A car plowed into a Melbourne school Tuesday, injuring five children, including one who was in critical condition, police said.

The car crashed through a fence at Auburn South Elementary School just after 2:30 p.m. local time, police said in a statement.

“One child was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and four others were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries,” the statement said.

The driver has been arrested and will be questioned, police said, adding that the cause of the accident will be investigated.

The injured children were sitting on a park bench, an Education Department official said on condition of anonymity, according to Australia Broadcasting Corp.

A Department of Education spokesman declined to comment to The Associated Press.
