Five people are dead and more than 40 injured after a vehicle drove through the barricades and ploughed into a Christmas parade of marching bands and dancing children in a suburb of the US city of Milwaukee.

One video showed a woman screaming, “Oh my God!” repeatedly as a group of young dancers was hit on Sunday.
