Ten injured as car hits crowd in Australia in 'horrible incident'
Ten people have been injured, including several children, after a car drove into a crowd gathered to cheer on a rugby team on Saturday, Australian officials have said.
What the coverage shows
Sky News and ABC News both lead on the same basic incident and the injury count, with each saying at least 10 people were hurt and that children were among them. Sky News is the only outlet to use the phrase “horrible incident” in its headline, while ABC specifies the crowd was standing on a road to cheer on the Newcastle Knights north of Sydney.
