Analysis:
This story is pure sensationalism. The footage they use, from a police car, shows an SUV crashing into a car as it is about to be lifted by a tow truck. The footage is so compelling that they show it twice! Viewers have to ask themselves how does a car crash out of state have any relevance for people in West Michigan?
Story:
WOOD TV 8 News reader - No one was seriously hurt when an out of control SUV slid across the Ohio Turnpike last week and hit a car April 2 near Toledo in a snow storm. This video was captured by a dash-board camera inside a State Patrol cruiser. The SUV slid sideways, hit the car, slamming it into the guardrail. The man driving the tow truck flipped over the rail, but amazingly was unhurt.
