Five people have been killed after a small plane crashed into a shopping centre near an airport north of Melbourne, Australia.
The Beechcraft plane exploded on impact just before 9am local time, an hour before the Direct Factory Outlet shopping mall was due to open.
Those killed reportedly include four US citizens.
Assistant police commissioner Stephen Leane said: "There were five people on the aeroplane and it looks like nobody's survived the crash."
A taxi driver told ABC radio there was a "massive fireball" after the impact.
He said: "I could feel the heat through the window of the taxi, and then a wheel - it looked like a plane wheel - bounced on the road and hit the front of the taxi as we were driving along."
