Police say they arrested 18-year-old man driving vehicle and were investigating what happened

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the crash into rugby fans in Australia and on the reported toll of 10 injured. The Independent alone adds that children were among the injured, while Al Jazeera and The Independent both mention police saying an 18-year-old driver was arrested. Al Jazeera further identifies him as an 18-year-old rugby league fan, a detail not in The Independent’s extract.
