A reporter in West Virginia was hit by a car on live TV while reporting on a water main break–but got right back up to finish reporting on her story.
“Oh my God! I just got hit by a car, but I’m OK. I just got hit by a car, but I’m OK,” WSAZ-TV reporter Tori Yorgey said on-air.
“That’s live TV for you. It’s all good,” Yorgey said. “I actually got hit by a car in college, too, just like that. I am so glad I’m OK.”
The driver of the vehicle could be heard apologizing, but Yorgey assured her that “it was all good.”
Asked by her co-anchor where she had been hit, Yorgey said: “I don’t even know, Tim. My whole life just flashed before my eyes but this is live TV and everything is OK.”
Yorgey’s last day with the station is Friday. She’s been with WSAZ-TV in West Virginia for three years. On Feb. 1 she will start her new job at ABC affiliate, WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
