An emergency occurred on live TV. A reporter suddenly stopped in the middle of his shot, dropped his mic and took off. The puzzled anchors back at the studio carried on with the broadcast. So what happened? Minutes later, ABC 7 Chicago reporter Christian Piekos returned and explained that a runner and a cyclist collided on a trail and that the cyclist went over his handlebars so he ran over to make sure the cyclist was doing okay. Now viewers are praising the reporter for jumping into action.

Why didn’t the camera man turn around to show what happened?
Reporter: 10/10
Camera Person: 0/10
nah.
Why does the video keep repeating
damn a reporter and a human, he must be the last of his kind
The cameraman had one job and didn’t get any footage. Somebody needs to fire that fool.
Saul Goodman ass
FAITH WITHOUT ACTION IS DEAD.
Great guy
To do good one must give of themselves, expecting not to benefit from doing so.
Feels safe to say risking your job without a second thought to render aid qualifies. Well done!
Fire the cameraman, Pulitzer moment denied.
Hero? Except for the fact the accident victims were distracted by news media filming causing the accident.
The cameraman couldn't move and show what happened? There was no one there with a phone?
Good man. 👍
I remember some of those cyclists in Chicago being speedsters. Plus the rollerblade people at the same time.
I didn’t know Americans even had the ability to fake empathy anymore, let alone have it
Damn, he’s cute
Bro that guys a hero
The cameraman did not think to turn the camera to catch the live action?
Yeah well, he doesn't work for CNN or MSNBC…..that says a lot.
Hands up who would have got their phone out and recorded the whole thing? (I wouldn't)

Amazing the cyclist got so much damage from hitting someone on foot. Yet they want to "share" the road with cars. The Laws of Physics do not support this thinking.
Old cyclist here. Those helmets are supposed to break in a crash. It's how they absorb the impact.
The news reporter show kindness as a human Winnie those kind of people in this hell of the world
He was in the right place, at the right time.
彼は考えるより先に体が動いてる
真の聖人
Dude was moving immediately, no hesitation. Good dude.
HE didn't have to detail out what HE did.
No cameraman? Why didn't he cover the action?
If he is your neighbour , you just won a lottery
why didnt the camera man record it
I love how the recorders didn't take the collidened people and that they handled it so profesionally
LOL. The reporter isn't a hero. Exhibiting common decency is not heroism.
I'm stunned that the cameraman didn't follow him, unless, of course, the reporter was alone and the camera was mounted on a tripod, if only as a cost-saving measure. How ironic that, as he explained the situation, a bicyclist rode by at high speed! But, playing Devil's Advocate, it's interesting that there was no proof of the incident: no sound of a crash; no passers-by seemed to notice; no broken helmet (would YOU take home one that was broken? wouldn't you give it to the reporter (or have the reporter ask for it)?); strange.
And what happened to the runner?
rare to see someone give up their limelight or put themself on the backshelf and deal with someone else that is having issues, and NOT bring a camera phone to the event.. he just ran off and helped out.. even with a big professional camera there, they didn't record it.. respect to the reporter and his cameraman.
Honest question: why didn’t the camera person pan over to film the incident? Was the reporter likely there alone?
Nice
Very unprofessional. Where was the cameraman? During this Unexpected episode that could have Helped the ratings. Or does he just have his iPhone set up on a tripod in front of him?
Bruh what happened
A pedestrian and a cyclist collide, and he is worried about the cyclist?
KUDOS to him. In a world where people don't want to get involved these days to do the right thing, he didn't even hesitate. Fantastic Job!
Good for him.
I am livid about funeral homes appeal to emotion! Only $300 to inscribe death date!
Camera man had epic opportunity to capture it. Unless this was all on tripod?
