Live television and reporting outdoors can be quite a daunting task, given that there are a variety of factors that can go wrong. This time around, a reporter in Illinois was hit by a car. In the vehicle's defence, it can be seen silently sliding off the boat launch, into Lake Springfield as the reporter was filming a live shot. ???????????????????????? pic.twitter.com/Uah0acNmeD Another episode of “Without a Trace.” See, the problem was he backed up too far. That young man has impeccable journalistic instincts. I see a bright career ahead. I love his little high pitched gasp when he first sees the sinking truck! just put it in rice https://t.co/VCScFUS7R2 Did the driver make it out? A great Ad against silently moving vehicles ???????????? https://t.co/8yWGeQOUDD Not a good day at the lake. https://t.co/q6lNC9ZTPp The clip of the incident, which took place on July 29, was shared on social media by football writer Brian Floyd and soon went viral. In it, the reporter who has been identified to beJakob Emerson from WICS NewsChannel20 can be seen talking about the construction of a lake that has become a bone of contention in the area. Even as he does this, the vehicle has been seen slipping into the reservoir behind it. Mr Emerson immediately asks the cameraperson to focus on the sinking vehicle instead. Few people can be seen standing on a boat next to the sinking car, watching it be sucked into the water rather helplessly.   Watch the video here:
