Cincinnati News Anchor Oh, Shh ... That Was A Car Crash!!!
Published August 7, 2026 8:48 AM PDT
Anything can happen on live TV ... but news anchors don't always catch themselves as well as this dude, who put the clamps on his mouth right before issuing a swear at the sight of a car crash.
KJ Jacobs was giving a routine weather report for WCPO 9 News in the Cincinnati area Thursday night ... pointing to a car stopped in between the on-ramp and the highway with its hazard lights blinking.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
In the middle of his sentence, KJ watched a car change lanes, dart across the road and run smack into the back of the stopped vehicle.
KJ began to say "Oh, sh..." before slapping a hand over his mouth and trailing off.
KJ later shared the clips to his social media ... writing, "A natural reaction on LIVE TV, but I’m so glad I hit the brakes just in time! 🖐🏽👀."
No word on how the motorists involved in the crash are doing ... but at least KJ avoided a disaster of his own!
