Children are feared to be among the victims of the attack in Vancouver and it is feared the death toll will rise.

Families had gathered in a southern suburb for the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party, celebrating Filipino culture. They were struck by a speeding black Audi SUV without warning as they stood drinking or queuing to buy food.

The driver tried to flee but was tackled by bystanders and arrested. A video on social media showed a young man in a black hoodie saying “I'm sorry”, surrounded by furious revellers.
