Car crash occurs behind WFLA reporter Adrienne Pedersen during live report

FEBRUARY 22, 2012

WFLA reporter Adrienne Pedersen saw her live report on gas prices this morning disrupted when two cars crashed within view of the camera, just over her left shoulder.

Anchor Gayle Guyardo quipped that perhaps the drivers "were shocked by the high gas prices." I wonder if maybe they were distracted by a local news crew reporting from the gas station they were passing.

See the incident below, h/t to TV SPY website:
