Two people have been killed in Texas after a car drove through temporary barriers set up for a festival and hit a crowd of pedestrians.
Police in Austin, where the annual South By Southwest (SXSW) conference is taking place, said the victims were confirmed dead at the scene.
Around 23 people have been taken to hospital with five in a critical condition.
The crash happened at around 12.30am in a downtown area where there are several nightclubs.
Witnesses said the car was travelling at around 70mph and was being chased by police before the incident.
One woman said she saw "people flying".
It is believed some of the crowd were queuing to get into a bar called Mohawk on Red River Street.
Officers said the driver has been taken into custody.
SXSW is an interactive film and music festival which attracts many performers and stars.
On Wednesday night, Kanye West and Jay-Z performed a two-hour show.
