Members of two Wyndham families who died in a horrific road accident outside regional Victorian pub are being remembered.
Point Cook couple Pratibha Sharma and partner Jatin Chugh, and their nine-year old daughter, died after being struck by a BMW SUV in the Daylesford Royal Hotel beer garden on Sunday.
Friend Vivek Bhatia and his son also died, the families mother and youngest son survived with injuries.
Police are yet to interview the 66-year-old driver of the car, but say an initial alcohol breath test did not return a positive reading and they’d not had previous contact with the Macedon man.
A community vigil of around 300 people gathered in Daylesford last night to mourn the dead and support the survivors and witnesses.
A family friend of Ms Pratibha and Mr Chugh told nine that no can prepare for such a tragedy and the community is doing what it can to support their extended family.
“We’re all just trying to first of all help out the family to bare this news and do what is necessary,” Sonia said.
“Nobody is prepared for these tragic ends…the whole community is with the family right now.”
