What the coverage shows

All three outlets converge on the hospital update that the independent MP is now in a serious but stable condition, with The Guardian US and BBC both making that the main focus. The Guardian US is alone in adding that Helen Haines had lost both legs and framing the change as an improvement days later, while The Independent is the only one to describe her as “no longer in critical condition” and to include a brief detail about the vehicle involved.
