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.

Why does this never happen to Bill O'Reilly's producer who conducts the ambush attack interviews?.

[grasyknol]

whoops.

[NoelGreco]

Why should it?

[Deja Peterson]

LOL!

[samilli3]

I wanted so bad to not laugh but I can't help it...LMAO.­..

Okay, feel better...I hope he is okay...

[HowInteresting]

Why is there more sympathy for terrorists than there is for a guy just out reporting the news? This is not even Fox News Channel we're talking about. The local stations are usually more balanced and even if it was FNS its a shame that people are making jokes.

[PinkoPanther]

That is simply not true... The local affiliates are often FAR worse than the Network as a whole, because that's where all the really insidious slights against black people and gays are aired - on the LOCAL news. Our local Fox affiliate is having a hayday right now... comparing gays to child-molesters and ridiculous black celebrities to Obama.

How low can you go guys? This is not funny at all. It could have happened to anyone (a child, another reporter, etc). I hope they track them down.

[mapleaforever]

"Track THEM down"?

Oh, so now it's a conspiricy?

[raye1]

Finally a fox reporter got caught putting his foot in it! Karma!!!

[fisher65]

he probly was pushing people to get to the front , like orielly did when obama was running lol the ambushers!

[wadenelson1]

Standing in the middle of the road wearing a windbreaker with a big FOX logo is kinda asking for it, isn't it? If I was on the crew I think I'd borrow a jacket from CBS.

[Rharte]

LOL! Funniest thing I've heard all week!

[TKDMike]

thats a shame.....­.

[yngskywlkr]

Gosh cant help thinking of Oreilly's ambush reporters.

[imsosure]

I think a few more of these and the photogs will learn that they ought to stay on the sidewalks like everyone else or risk at their fault being ran into, seems fair to me. Freedonm of the press doesn't include breaking law, -walking or not staying out of traffic.

[sloreader]

It'd have to be a foot injury because FOX reportiers have no backbone.

[loveobamas]

LMAO!!!

Is that all?

[totalliberal]

It was nice of that reporter to thank the nurse and his son for their help. He walked away from them as if they were dirt. Typical rude SOB Fox employee.

[K4Lic0]

I was thinking the exact same thing, he didn't even say thanks!
