A television crew in Monterrey, Mexico, was struck by a vehicle on Friday morning while broadcasting live from the scene of storm damage, in an incident captured on air.
Reporter Alma de la Rosa Flores and cameraman Cristo Morales, both with the local Gamavisión network, had arrived at Morones Prieto Avenue in Monterrey, in the state of Nuevo León, to cover the aftermath of heavy rains that had battered the area overnight. A landslide had occurred at the site, a tree had fallen across the road, and a motorcyclist had been involved in an accident. The two stood near the roadway, transmitting a live report back to the studio.
As the broadcast continued, a jeep traveling on the rain-slicked road suddenly lost control and veered toward the television crew. Within seconds, the vehicle struck both the reporter and the cameraman, and the camera recorded the collision in real time.
