Horrible ...

bbc said:
Two people have died after a car which was being chased by police crashed into pedestrians in south-east London.
The car was being pursued along Lennard Road in Penge when it hit a family walking along the pavement at about 14:05 BST, witnesses said.
Ambulance crews and the air ambulance attended but the two pedestrians were pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the car has been arrested and is in custody at a south London police station.
The witness said the black car was being chased by two police BMWs when the driver "lost control and ploughed into a family".
"People were trying to lift a car off a little girl", the man said.
Police have not confirmed if anybody else was hurt in the crash.
