General News Events - Coverage Discussion

A very serious incident involving a vehicle plowing into pub patrons at a beer garden has just unfolded in the popular holiday hamlet of Daylesford-Hepburn Springs in regional central Vic, in-between Ballarat and Bendigo south of Castlemaine, which many Victorians (including myself) either love or have visited or been through at least once (unofficial Melb Cup ‘long weekend’ too so would be packed). Multiple fatalities and casualties reported, including multiple air and road ambulances en route.

Seven News yet again first to break on-air and that social post rapidly doing the rounds, plus a website article. Nine, Age/SMH, DM and news .com.au also now with a very sketchy piece, saying they’ll be following throughout the night.

Wouldn’t be surprised if first ad breaks during 1% / Block have an extended live update, as well as during the night and details (maybe a Police conference) by the national late bulletins. ABC currently on-air.
