The exact number of those hurt remains unclear at this time. New South Wales Ambulance officials reported the incident occurred early Saturday morning, with several individuals receiving treatment on the scene. The driver of the vehicle was subsequently arrested. The rugby enthusiasts had congregated on the road early Saturday to catch a glimpse of the Knights' bus ahead of their finals match scheduled for Sunday. Thousands of fans had been supporting the team over the past week as they prepared for the big game.",
