Hundreds gathered at a downtown park Monday night in Waukesha, Wisconsin, for a candlelight vigil in honor of those lost and hurt in a deadly Christmas parade crash a day earlier. Police say that, at least five people were killed and more than 40 hurt when an SUV driver barreled into a Christmas parade on Sunday afternoon.

One person has been taken into custody, and investigators are looking into whether the driver was fleeing a crime involving a knife at the time. Doctors say 18 patients between the ages of 3 and 16 were taken Children's Wisconsin Hospital. Those injured suffered serious head injuries, broken bones and scrapes on their faces.
