One person is dead and a child has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after a truck crashed into a kindergarten in a regional Victoria town, police say.
Victoria police said the truck was believed to have crashed into a kindergarten in Riddells Creek, about 45km north-west of Melbourne, at about 2.20pm on Monday.
“One adult, who is yet to be formally identified, has died at the scene,” police said in a statement.
“A child was injured and has been taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.”
The truck driver was also taken to hospital for observation.
No charges have been laid over the incident and police said the circumstances of the crash were being investigated.
The state MP for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas, described the crash as a “terrible incident”.
“Our thoughts are with the family of the victims and the broader Riddells Creek community,” she said.
“We thank our first responders who are on scene investigating and helping those injured.”
