The driver, a 40-year-old Hawthorn East woman, was arrested at the scene and released pending further enquiries.

On Tuesday she was charged with careless driving and failing to have proper control of a motor vehicle.

Police will allege her car veered off the road on Burgess Street and crashed through a school fence before hitting the group of children. 

It’s understood the woman had picked up her primary-school aged child shortly before the tragic crash.

That child was not injured in the crash.

The woman has been summoned to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on July 15.
