Thank God she was ok 🙏🙏 I was also hit by a car. With God Blessings on my life I to walked away with no injuries in front of the Hospital where I work at as Nurse on my way to work on New Year's Day at night.😊😷😇🙏🙏

She was at the edge of crying I think that's a scary situation. She tried to make it funny but her voice was shaking a little. I hope she fou d a better job.

She’s not ok? But I think pray her recovery is fast! 🙏🏾

She is a keeper! Deserves to get promoted!!

Did she not only say she got hit by a car in college AND this is her last week at that job 🤯🤯🤯 May God watch over and protect you dear! That’s scary to see on live tv, but I’m glad you’re okay!

She is going to be SORE!

Holy crap!!

🚘 💥🚙 OMG‼️

Thank goodness she’s ok

Probably texting. How do you not see a bright camera light? 🤦‍♂️

Her on-the-air 'colleague' appears rather unaffected, disturbingly so, to the point I think he's either drugged or drunk.

slyp0806 so glad she is ok..

Will any of these news outlets that are sharing this on social media review their own MMJ policies?

ConwayShow No one is mentioning the oblivious idiot who hit her? Lights cameras people … and just driver through there ?

The dumb look on his face,,,,, 🥴

Give her a raise

She just walk it off ! Her second time she’s been hit by a car 🚗 ! She should buy a lottery ticket !

Irony would be the driver is the same person that hit her in college!

And that’s how the cookie crumbles

fucktim

Way to show some real concern Mr. Robot.

omg, she should check first, many times the injuries manifest when the adrenaline drops.

Prayers for her recovery even though she said she is okay the impact is going to cause some aches!

I’m happy she appears to be ok, but I hope she really is. Please go get yiurself checked out.

😱 ERAZNOYLACHOKO GARBANZO5 elmaestrodoggy

Aw hell naw. Workers comp gurl

Oh shit

😱

How scary!

In a followup video the next day she says she got checked out at the hospital and there are no broken bones, just soreness.

Even though she said she's okay, many people don't want to be embarrassed in front of others, so they pretend they are okay, and then check out the damage later. Also, being in shock, she may not have even known about her injuries right away.

I hope she has contacted her lawyer.

GOD BLESS HER ALWAYS in the job!. JESUS CHRIST LOVES HER!.💖👼🙏

👀😂😂 wow

Omg to the colleague so umm...Do u have a pulse? And to u girl speedy recovery and shit u need an emmy u just got hit by a whole fu***** entire vehicle car talking bout u good! Holy shit!

Glad you are okay!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

She was clearly in shock and not ok. I've been hit by a car, and you try to get up and keep going not realizing how injured you are until someone tell you not to move. They should have cut right then and call an ambulance.

Love her colleague's reaction. He didn't seem to give two $hits.

Holy crap! What a trooper…give this lady a raise! 😮

Just wore it like a champ! Stay hard!

😳

Trooper.

Wow! RexChapman

Yup last week on job I’d be like get me an ambulance my neck my back

That guy could care less. Unbelievable 😂

Xanax (anchorman) has entered the chat

ronidaz23 She’s a ROCKSTAR! The Reporter at the office? Are you sure he’s ALIVE! She gets hit by a car! And he gives NOTHING! NO REACTION! No OMG! Are you alright! He looks like someone out of the movie “Men In Black”

She should make some shirts with her picture with the words 'it's all good.' She deserves a nice long vacation. Could've been a horrible situation? Pretty horrible as is.

Hope she got checked out? She might not be okay!

I would like to know if the drunk lady texting in her phone was apprehended after this video

She handles that like a champ

Was Alec Baldwin the driver?

He honesty didn’t care about her , which shows he doesn’t care about life

The News Anchor through the whole thing:

Wow

He was too calm tho….🤔

She was looking okay but She was in shock.
