Alma Mireya de la Rosa Flores and her cameraman were live on air when everything spiraled out of control.
It was Friday morning, October 2, around 8:00 a.m., on Morones Prieto Avenue in Monterrey, Nuevo León. The reporter for Gamavisión Noticias and Cristo Morales were covering a landslide caused by the rain, one of those stories covered every week in any city. According to Infobae, a car lost control on the wet pavement and hit them. Other media outlets describe the vehicle as a Jeep-style SUV.
The broadcast managed to capture the aftermath: the Red Cross loading them onto stretchers, conscious. Both were taken to a hospital and, according to reports, are stable and out of danger. She has a cervical sprain, multiple contusions, bruises, and scrapes, and so far no fractures have been reported in her case. He reportedly has some fractures, though media reports do not entirely agree on that detail.
Later, the reporter herself wrote on social media that she and her cameraman were “alive by a miracle”. Those who had gone to report on an emergency ended up experiencing one in front of thousands of viewers.
