On Monday (20), during a live broadcast on KCBS-TV, a man attempting to flee from authorities was struck and killed during the transmission, leaving the anchors in shock.
The station followed the chase using helicopter footage, showing Los Angeles police pursuing a man suspected of stealing a white van.
The van was seen speeding down the highway as police vehicles with flashing lights followed closely behind. After nearly half an hour of pursuit, the man jumped out of the vehicle to continue his escape on foot.
In the middle of the live coverage, he was fatally hit by a speeding car coming from the opposite direction on the 110 Freeway. The scene was so shocking that the anchors were visibly stunned.

“Wow, wow! Oh my God! Oh no! Oh no!” exclaimed reporter Juan Fernandez. Assignment editor Mike Rogers asked the camera operator to zoom out due to the graphic nature of the image.
“Keep the wide shot, keep the wide shot. He was hit.” The broadcast then cut back to the studio to continue coverage. Fernandez and his co-anchor Suzie Suh appeared visibly shaken by the incident.
According to KTLA 5, the man died at the scene after being struck by at least two vehicles. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the case.
