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 News has reporters???

[huffyfan2]

I know that stunned me too. LOL

[zappafan56]

ambush journalism at it's best!

[DKLabRat]

Yeah, car hits Fox reporter while he's 'doing his live shots'. In other words, Fox reporter harasses car driver, tries to get shots of them in the car as it goes past him, and ends up getting run over.

To quote some weirdo...

"So?"

[tom90069]

car hits "fox noise network' 'reporter'
so many things here; news and reporter should never be associated with fox.

[provgrays]

It's a Left Wing conspiracy against Faux Noise!

[vonPinto]

lol. I saw the driver. She is a "democrat".

[grf67]

It has been a week! Doesn't fox have something more important to cover? Jackson didn't cure cancer; he was just a exceptional performer. Enough is enough.

[KDog76A]

irony is that you have nothing more important to talk about

[Chuckwheat]

Suffering for his craft, the story must be told!

[JLRoberson]

And God proves his existence.

I visited the Jackson family home on Sunday to pay my respect. I didn't stay long, long enough to place my flowers and cards. Hayvenhurst is a very narrow street. The media has taken over one side of the street. I'm sure the reporter was in the middle of the street, because there is not much room for them. There is a barrier for reporters. He should have stayed in the barrier.

[Clayton139]

Faux Noise News ?!

[jazzofcourse08]

You got a point :-)

[steamboat]

Are your Sunday's that boring, that empty?

[vwoom]

Hit 'n run news on MJ news...a Faux News exclusive.

[billyboil]

when the revolution comes, ALL fox workers will get "run over".....­..........­........

[eleanorhawking]

I don't know about that Mr. Boil. I sincerely hope the reporter will recover quickly and completely from his injuries.

[yellowdoggie]

Somehow, this must be Obama's fault.

[Scottsdalian]

It was.....an­d in collusion with Bill Clinton!

[jackbond]

Bill Clinton was the driver!
