Five people were killed Wednesday when a car ploughed into a crowd of pedestrians in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, local police said, ruling out a terror link.
According to the Mirror, 20-year old Alyona Zaitseva - the daughter of a local millionaire, was driving the SUV which ran into pedestrians. The report also mentions that a 15-year-old schoolgirl was among the casualties.
The Kharkiv police department said six others - including a pregnant woman, were hurt; although the extent of their injuries remained unclear. Local police spokesman Yaroslav Trakalo told the Ukrainska Pravda news site that two women's condition was "very serious".
The police statement said Zaitseva had been detained, adding that a criminal case involving driving safety violations had been launched.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail, the police statement said.
Photographs published on various Ukrainian news sites showed the remains of a black SUV vehicle scattered across a crosswalk where the accident occurred.
