She took pictures of herself as her vehicle continued to sink

There is really no predicting what can go wrong while you are reporting live on television.

From bad weather and rogue birds to pesky dogs and angry bystanders, reporters are used to several uninvited guests interrupting them as they communicate a vital piece of information on live television.

But things went up a notch for a TV reporter in Dunbar, West Virginia, when she was knocked down by a car during a live broadcast. Tori Yorgey, a reporter at WSAZ-TV, was struck by a car while speaking to an anchor who was at the studio.

A video of the incident was shared on social media. In the clip, Ms Yorgey was getting ready to report when an SUV slammed into her, sending her and her camera crashing down.

Within seconds of being slammed into, Ms Yorgey is heard saying, “I just got hit by a car, but I am okay.” The unconvinced anchor in the studio asked: “Are you sure you are okay?”

The woman, presumably driving the SUV, was heard apologising to Ms Yorgey, who reiterated “she was fine.”  — ndtv.com
