Australian MP Helen Haines has lost both legs after being struck twice by a vehicle outside her Wangaratta office. A 43-year-old man faces multiple charges.

Australian federal lawmaker Helen Haines had had both legs amputated after she was rammed repeatedly by a driver on Monday outside her electorate office, her husband says.

Doctors worked for days to save Helen Haines' right leg but were ultimately unsuccessful, said her husband.

Independent MP Helen Haines has lost both her legs but is in a stable condition, her husband confirmed. The community rallies behind Haines and her family during a vigil in Wodonga.

Doctors have amputated both of Helen Haines legs after the Australian lawmaker was hit in an apparent deliberate attack. The suspected driver involved in the attack has appeared in court.
