"17-year-old arrested after car plunges into Sunderland river KILLING three" is a short news report on the Manchester Evening News channel. In its first fourteen hours it was watched about 62,000 times, close to twenty times what a new upload there usually draws in a full day.

The report sets out what Northumbria Police have said. A black Audi A3 left the road at Panns Bank, near Wearmouth Bridge, at around 1.30pm and went into the River Wear with four people inside. After a search, the bodies of two teenage boys and a teenage girl were recovered from the water. A 17-year-old boy has been arrested.

Sunderland is in the North East, well outside the Greater Manchester area the paper covers day to day, though its channel also carries major stories from across the UK. Among the uploads posted around it, the counterterrorism update on the RAF Fairford alert is the next most watched, with about a third of this report's views. The Labour Party conference streams and Manchester City supporters' reactions to the verdict on the club's financial charges have each stayed in the low thousands.
