Eat News 4745 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Maybe KGTV can set up a Go Fund Me page. Why was the reporter under the tree when KGTV had already "triggered" a "Breaking Weather Alert" on Saturday? She should have listened to her own advice to stay away from trees...especially reporter hating trees.

ihEARDtHAT 8 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 The photographer is Mike Gold. They had just completed a "live" report sometime around 4:30am when the tree fell on them. Mike was able to call 911 on his cell phone. As reported above it was reported that Mike had a broken left leg and was in surgery at Scripps about an hour ago. Marie's injuries were not stated but she too was being prepped for surgery also at Scripps.

Eat News 4745 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Looks like she had been doing an "active" liveshot under a portion of the tree that had already fallen. Both were trapped when the rest of the tree fell. Attorney: "Why were you working under the tree, in a wind storm?" Marie: "Because my boss told me to." See ya in court.

ihEARDtHAT 8 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Mike Gold has been released and is recovering at home. Marie underwent surgery (6 hrs?) on Thursday at Scripps Memorial Hospital. According to her neurosurgeon, “Bones were fractured from the top of the spine to the mid-back; the surgery was to stabilize and prevent further injury,” Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14930-kgtv-reporter-and-photographer-injured/#findComment-145026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
