Opshop frontman Jason Kerrison says he survives a late-night crash after a cow suddenly appears in front of his vehicle while he is driving on State Highway 1 in the Far North. Kerrison describes reacting to the animal’s presence on the road as he travels near Mangamuka and says he believes the moment felt life-threatening.

Both reports describe the incident as involving wandering stock on State Highway 1. They characterize it similarly as a collision with a cow after cattle are seen ahead of the car. The coverage differs mainly in emphasis: one outlet highlights the “late-night” timing and Kerrison’s account that he thought he would die, while the other focuses more generally on the circumstances of the collision and the location near Mangamuka.
