WSAZ reporter Tori Yorgi was run over while reporting on a major water outage in West Virginia.
In the video, which was widely circulated on Twitter, Yorgi was trampled during a live broadcast, but she quickly reassured the broadcaster, who showed signs of shock on his face, that she was fine.
She can be heard saying, “I just got hit by a car, but I’m fine… I got hit by a car but I’m fine, Tim.”

And she added, after returning to standing: “I was also trampled upon when I was at the university. We are all fine.. This is my last week at work and I thought that such a thing would happen. The tape of my life passed before my eyes.”
She posted a tweet on her Twitter account, saying: “I am flattered by your kindness and good wishes. I’m fine. Thank you very much all.”
Wow. I am flattered by the kindness and well wishes. I am feeling fine, just a little sore! Thank you all so much.
For the record: @WSAZirr couldn’t see what was happening in that moment. He is one of the kindest people I know, and was first to call to check on me. pic.twitter.com/kusuDnEvfG
