The driver of the car that plowed into a Christmas parade in the Midwestern US city of Waukesha, killed five and injured 48 people.

Darrell Edward Brooks Jr was apparently fleeing a domestic dispute at the time, and will face charges of intentional homicide, police said Monday.

Waukesha, Wisconsin police chief Dan Thompson said that suspect Darrell Brooks, 39, appeared to be fleeing a domestic disturbance. He also said he was not being pursued by police when he drove his red SUV through the city’s annual holiday parade on Sunday.

“A lone subject intentionally drove his maroon SUV through barricades and into a crowd of people that was celebrating the Waukesha Christmas parade,”
city police chief Dan Thompson said

Four women and one man between the ages of 52 and 81 were killed, and 48 people were hospitalised.

Waukesha police also said the incident was not an act of terrorism.
