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.

"Its a reporter They intrude on our lives"

Yes, they are in my backyard now. ?

I just saw a report on telemundo about how Jackson rented this house that's across the street from an elementary school. There was a report from a parent that spotted him on the school's grounds too.

[Kmadden2004]

What's that got to do with this story?

[rocko2466]

And who cares? Telemundo is likely inaccurate on that one.

Whats the difference betwen a runover snake on the road and a runover Fox Reporter. The pavement near the snake has skid marks.

Come on, people...even if this were Limbaugh, it wouldn't be funny. There's nothing funny about irresponsible and dangerous drivers. Hope they catch and punish the perpetrator.

[dzent1]

You're right, if it were Limbaugh, funny would not be the word. Joyous, perhaps? I'd say Karmic, but it would take a whole lot more bodily damage for that word to come into play.

I hope he has a good health care plan and doesn't have to
rely on "socialized" medicine or support if he has to miss work.

ROFLOL!!

karma's a......

So many questions,

Was the reporter standing in the middle of the street to do his live shot? Did the film crew lights needed to do the live shot impact the driver's vision? Was it such a cf (cluster f....) at the place that the driver didn't realize he ran over boswell?

Reporter? on FOX since when do they have repoters, He works for FOX he must have done something to provoke it I wasn't there but wish I had

Just one more FOX "reporter" sticking his foot in it. There were attempted coups in Iran and Honduras, but all FOX has to talk about in shooting the last poisoned arrows on the cadaver of a man they harassed and pursued all his life, until the pressure became too much for him. There can be no social progress, no human dignity in the US until Fox and all they represent are taken off the air. They are the single greatest obstacle to progress, justice and equality in our country. They are a good example of the misuse of the idea of democracy- ultrademocracy, the idea that anyone can say anything anytime about anybody and it is "protected". Ultrademocracy quickly becomes its opposite-fascism with anyone voicing a contrary opinion trundled off to jail. Fox pretends to practice democracy and free speech while actively working to destroy it for anyone who doesnt agree with them. Silencing Fox would not be undemocratic- it would paradoxically represent the preservation of democracy. You can not trust the handling of democratic processes in the hands of fascists. They will use it to strangle it to death.

Do you have any idea how childish and immature you sound? Do you think Fox News is the only biased news outlet there is? Seriously dude, they all sell their souls. Journalism is no longer an honorable profession.

[phylliscooper1]

So many faux news reporters, so few cars.

[Garrett123]

I wold like everyone to take a moment of silence and prayer and hope the car is doing fine.

[Bushisgone]
