KTLA reporter Gene Kang was reporting on a deadly hit-and-run collision in South Los Angeles when he was interrupted by a car wreck Thursday afternoon.
Kang was in the area of Hoover and 84th streets talking about how the location has been the site of many incidents lately, with double the number of traffic collisions occurring in the area since the onset of the pandemic.
Behind him, two sedans slammed into each other, and one appeared to speed away. It’s unknown if the driver later stopped.
“Our security guard Walter Mann yelled ‘get back’ and we moved as the car came racing towards us. It veered away at the last second and T-boned the car,” Kang said.
