Craig Boswell, Fox News Reporter, Injured In Hit And Run Outside Jackson Family Compound (VIDEO)

Fox News reporter Craig Boswell was injured in a hit and run late Monday night outside the Jackson family compound in Encino, California.

The accident, which occurred around 10PM local time, occurred approximately 100 yards south of the Jackson family home, MyFoxLA reports.

Boswell was struck in the foot by a woman speeding through the neighborhood in a gold Toyota Corolla, the report said.

The Huffington Post has learned that Boswell was hit while doing his live shots and was taken to Encino Hospital, where initial reports indicated little more than bruising and scrapes. Since then, however, x-rays have shown broken bones in Boswell's foot and he is being flown back to Washington, DC this morning, where he'll undergo surgery necessary to repair the damage.

Boswell is a reporter for Fox NewsEdge, which provides news for Fox affiliates around the country.

I hope that car is okay.

If I were the first cop on the scene I would have given him a ticket for jaywalking too...

[ebanks84]

I hope his foot is okay. That's all I can say and stay nice :)

Yes, it was a hit and run since the driver left the scene (if it can be shown they knew he had been hit) The reporter should also be ticketed for standing in the street unless he was in a crosswalk. Let's be serious, he was doing his "live shot" in the middle of the street. Next time, GET OUT OF THE ROADWAY".

Vulture gets his claw squished.

Hmmm something fishy here, news and fox in the same sentence is obviously incorrect.

[Denemator]

That story can't be true, there is no such thing as a news reporter at Fox

[Denemator]

That story can't be true, there is no such thing as a news reporter at Faux

[dax49]

maybe he will get a job at a real news station, and stop humiliating his family by appearing on fox

[dillydawg]

Working for Fox makes him unqualified to work at a Real news station.

Well I know that it wasn't Glenn Beck because he was on the Bill O'Riley show tonight trashing president Obama for not saying that we won the war in Iraq as our soldiers moved out today. He said the least he could have done was acknowledge and thanked Bush.

Stated:"Boswell is a reporter for Fox NewsEdge, which provides news for Fox affiliates around the country"
Correction: Fox does not provide news; it provides entertainment. Let's get that straight.

[centsable]

All the cameras there and nobody got footage ? Sounds like faux news is up to something. Just saying.

[DoctorWhoDat]

It was Clintons fault...no...it was Obama's fault, Pelosi? Olbermann?

[Chloe33]

Obama blames everything on Bush.....try him.

[coco51]

so it was Bush's fault...got it.

[CrzyRussell]

I don't think it is funny to make fun of a crime victim... it could have been anybody.

[coco51]

For the rest of the general population it would be crude, for a Rethug dressed in a reporters jacket, it's fitting.

[indy100]

Crime victim? Crime? Sheesh.

[JaneQCitizen]

Well, get the frack out of the road.
