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.

Good one.

He was lucky to escape with those fairly minor injuries.

They need to catch the driver and throw the book at her...I have no sympathy for hit and run types.

[PATina]

I know. If you hit someone (or run their foot over) you should stop. I understand that it must be frightening... but it's much worse to leave the scene. I wonder if the cameraman happened to get the license plate number.

[Ryoki]

Ever notice how the "reporters" on Fox always seem to end up putting their foot in their mouths. Now you know why. It's self defense.
By the way, does this mean he can no longer dance around the facts?

[weatherwaxx]

Facts? They don't need no stinkin' FACTS!

[bigsexyshaq]

That's the "drive-by media" for ya. I know it's bad and doesn't make sense.

[robbyJ]

haha i appreciate a good play on words.

[ProfessorDuh]

Well, at least it wasn't a real reporter.

[jbrantow]

bravo

[sinope]

Unfortunate... better watch your toes!

[connorin]

It is so nice to see the caring and concern for a fellow human being...actually its really more like embarassing and pathetic. Stay Classy!

[PalaceOfWisdom]

In fairness, modern news reporters only genetically qualify as human beings. If they can report a grisly murder, then smile two seconds later while they report a local puff piece, why am I required to show sympathy? When the commenters wish harm on someone, then scold 'em.

[PATina]

I agree.

[Jack Barron]

Damn liberal drivers.

[FightTheLies]

If he wasn't standing there pretending to do some reporting, he would not have gotten hit.

[AprilPA]

Even though he is a Fox News reporter, I hope his foot completely heals.

[ThinkCreeps]

I guess it's all swollen now, so it won't fit in his mouth

[BobSacomano]

FOX News....that's called 'Carma'.

[obamanomics]

No it's not, but if it was it would be called Karma.

[amirtalai]

sigh

[jl4141]

I think Mr. Sacomano was making a pun -- karma with a car = carma? Get it?

[Oldtt]

No it's not, but -if it were - it would be called kismet.

[Earl]

pun = play on words
sometimes people misspell things intentionally to make a point

[malodorousgit]

lol

[TainoBoy]

Fox News have been doing such a good job lately, I hope his doing well.

[Agent420]

Find another profession, you don't make a good comic.

[BambooHarvester]

Hahahahahahhahahaaaaa ...

The Jackson family should do a tv series like Ozzie Osbourne.

Ratings through the roof.

[Bitsko]

Hope he's okay, but shouldn't a "news reporter" be out reporting actual news?
