Sydney - Nine foreign backpackers, including five from France, were rushed to hospital in various states of "agitated delirium" after ingesting a travel sickness drug they mistook for cocaine and falling seriously ill, Australian authorities and reports said.
Three of them - two French and one German - remained in hospital on Thursday after paramedics were called to a house in the Perth suburb of Victoria Park on Tuesday night.
The seven men and two women aged between 21-25 took the drug Hyoscine and fell into an unconscious or semi-conscious state, Western Australia Police said.
Royal Perth Hospital emergency doctor David McCutcheon said late on Wednesday the trio were "still in a critical condition".
