What do you notice about the difference in content and how the articles convey this information?

When the stories are compared with one another, both The Daily Mail and The Telegraph fail to present a reason why the crash occurred, which can be more captivating for the audience, as they would want to find out the reason for the incident-especially those who may have known the victims. Moreover, they both inform us with the ages of those involved and give similar location details as to where the accident happened. Both articles have given us well presented statistics on the story.
