Cameras Keep Rolling As Solo Reporter Is Run Over Live On Air

We’ve all had rough days at work, but have you ever been hit by a car and expected to carry on working?

Late on Wednesday (Jan. 19, 2022), local TV news reporter Tori Yorgey was out on location in Dunbar, WV, delivering a live report to anchor Tim Irr in the studio. While speaking to the camera, Yorgey was hit by a silver SUV, which pushed her out of frame and knocked her and her camera to the ground.

Off screen, Yorgey is heard saying, “Oh my god, I just got hit by a car,” while Irr looks on confused.

“I just got hit by a car, Tim, but I’m OK,” Yorgey repeated, before Irr said, “Well, that’s a first for you on TV, Tori.”

In a video of the incident shared to social media, the driver of the car can be heard shouting to ask if Yorgey is OK before she replies saying she’s fine.

“That’s live TV for you, but it’s all good. I actually got hit by a car in college, too, just like that,” Yorgey said, as if that makes the whole thing any less horrifying.

She then appears to comfort the driver of the car, and assures everyone one last time that “we’re all OK.”

“My whole life just flashed before my eyes,” she added.

With the camera still rolling, and Yorgey’s shocked expression still plastered over the TV screens, it seems pretty messed up that directors didn’t cut away from the scene. Yorgey was hardly given a minute to compose herself before she had to get back to the story at hand.
