Summary
One patient remained in critical condition on Saturday after a car struck Newcastle Knights supporters in Wallsend, while three other injured people had already been discharged from hospital.
Ten people were hurt when the car, allegedly driven erratically, crashed into fans lining the street to see the Knights players depart for Sydney on NRL grand final day.
Earlier reports said the most seriously injured included a 5-year-old girl and a 67-year-old man, with the number of critical patients later falling to one.
Police previously charged an 18-year-old man with multiple dangerous and negligent driving offences, turning what was meant to be a team send-off into a citywide shock.
