It’s no coincidence that major metropolitan cities like Los Angeles are magnets for car accidents. Some places just happen to have more crashes than others. But during a live news feed, a car crash happens on-camera while KTLA reporter Gene Kang was covering a story about a fatal crash that occurred at Hoover & 84th Street.

“I was covering a fatal hit & run story yesterday,” Kang said in a tweet. “I was pointing out one of the most dangerous streets in Los Angeles (Hoover & 84th Street) – then this happened!” Kang and his camera crew assisted the victims struck by the reckless driver and provided the license plate to the Los Angeles Police department.
