A traffic reporter in Cincinnati narrowly avoided uttering an expletive on live television after witnessing a car crash unfold behind him. KJ Jacobs, traffic anchor and meteorologist for WCPO 9, was delivering a traffic report when the incident occurred.
"Oh sh--" Jacobs began, quickly catching himself and covering his mouth. "Oh, I'm so sorry. Literally just watched a crash happen in real time. I almost said something inappropriate."
Jacobs then recovered and continued to describe the scene, stating, "You can see this car just smash right into this car in real time." He proceeded to report on the developing situation.
The reporter later shared the footage on social media, where it gained significant attention, viewed by millions. He captioned the post, "A natural reaction on LIVE TV, but I'm so glad I hit the brakes just in time!"
