Timeline to tragedy: stricken MP fights for her life

Key points

• Independent MP Helen Haines remains in a critical but stable condition after being struck by a white four-wheel drive near her Wangaratta electorate office on Monday afternoon. Witnesses said the vehicle rammed her twice before it made a U-turn and hit her.
• A local barber made a citizen's arrest of the 43-year-old driver, Brendan Nugent, and took a knife from him. Police are questioning Nugent.
• Dr Haines lost one leg on Tuesday as surgeons worked to save the other. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called it a deliberate attack, but the motive remains unclear.
