An anchor working in Chicago was shocked when a vehicle slammed into the street-level studio where he was broadcasting Sunday night.

Ravi Baichwal’s response was to look to his right in disbelief and exclaim “whoa!” when the minivan slammed into the building, jarring the studio and shaking up the 10 p.m. newscast just one minute after it began.

No one was injured in the crash Sunday at WLS. The driver, Gerald Richardson, 25, was jailed on charges of causing property damage and reckless driving.


Car crash

This was the incredible scene after a car cartwheeled more than 100ft through the air before embedding itself in a first-floor flat.

John Gordon’s Volvo took off after hitting a tree on a roundabout and flew until it crashed into the flats 15ft off the ground and facing backwards.

I found out yesterday evening that someone who I did lighting with when I was at secondary school got killed on Wednesday morning in a car crash.

Here’s to Stephen Parascandolo. He was an intelligent, polite, self-professed anorak whose love for the tramlink system was far greater than anything!
We’ll be raising a glass the next time the old school lot meet.

Edit
If anyone who knew Stephen wants his funeral arrangement details, please let me know.

lotsa emails this way!
