A woman dies and multiple people are injured after a multi-vehicle crash involving a coach in Victoria’s Yarra Ranges. Emergency services respond to reports of a three-vehicle collision on the Melba Highway at Glenburn about 2.40pm.
The crash involves a commercial bus and two cars. One outlet reports two people are seriously injured alongside the woman’s death, while another reports four occupants of the bus are taken to hospital and describes several other injuries. The differing wording reflects how outlets count injured people (for example, “seriously injured” versus “taken to hospital” and “several other” injuries).
All reports describe the incident as involving a bus carrying 18 people. The Guardian also notes that its article and headline are amended due to an earlier incorrect statement about the person’s gender, attributed to a police statement error.
