What the coverage shows
Reuters and the Associated Press both center the crash into a crowd in Newcastle and the fact that 10 people were injured. AP frames the scene as rugby fans cheering on the Newcastle Knights and says several children were among those hurt, while Reuters alone adds that police said the car lost control and that authorities ruled out terrorism.
