Tori Yorgey of WSAZ hit by car on live tv

TV viewers in West Virginia got an unexpected scare during the news on Wednesday evening when a car struck a reporter during a live shot.

Tori Yorgey of WSAZ, the NBC affiliate in Huntington, was speaking with anchor Tim Irr about the weather ― including wet roads and a water main break ― when the car hit her.

It looked bad, but she bounced right back up.

“I just got hit by a car, but I’m OK,” Yorgey told Irr. “I just got hit by a car, but I’m OK, Tim.”

“Well, that’s a first for you on TV, Tori,” he said.

Irr later took to Twitter to explain that his puzzling response was due to the fact that he hadn’t seen what happened and was relying on audio alone.

“That’s live TV for you,” Yorgey said. “It’s all good.”
