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.

Fox must have quite the PRIVATE healthcare plan that it would fly it's employees from LA to DC for broken leg surgery. With all the celebrity docs and world reknown hospitals in LA you mean to tell me that there isn't someone there to perform whatever surgery necessary?

Hit and run journalism meets hit and run car... How Poetic!

[dynwitch]

...and cue Sean Hannity as he somehow blames Obama for this.

[threeboys]

I bet Rush will tell his listeners it was Obama driving that car.

It needs to be mentioned the reporter got hit by a Toyota......Its unpatriotic that an American car isn't the culprit......BUY AMERICAN !
