At least 12 children and 11 adults were hospitalized after an SUV drove into the crowd at a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Waukesha Fire Chief Steven Howard gave the numbers on Sunday, while the Waukesha Police Department said that at least 40 people were injured and five had died.

It is not clear if any of those killed were children.

Howard said that the families of the dead were being contacted.

A children's dance troupe were among those performing in the parade.

One man, Corey Montiho, described to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel trying to find his daughter, who was part of the troupe, after the SUV hit.

"There were pom-poms and shoes and spilled hot chocolate everywhere. I had to go from one crumpled body to the other to find my daughter," he said.

"My wife and two daughters were almost hit. Please pray for everybody."
