Man Crashes Into WSL-Ch7 studio

A man driving a vehicle crashed in a Chicago TV studio on Sunday just after the station ended their newscast at 10 p.m.

Police were questioning the 25-year-old Evanston man that burst into the studio of the WLS-Ch 7 at 190 N. State St. No one was injured, the Associated Press informs.

After 10 p.m. weekend anchor Ravi Baichwal was startled by a loud noise that was heard inside the studio and on the air.

According to Officer David Banks, a police spokesman, the investigation was still on. He also said that it wasn’t clear why the driver if the Mazda MPV with Indiana license crashed into the TV station’ glass wall, Fox News reports.

Chicago Police Sgt. Darien Easterday said that the driver wasn’t injured due to the thick glass which is also bullet-proof.

Emily Barr, ABC 7 President and General Manager said that this incident might have been deliberate, but there was no way to check it.

Many people saw the scene as they were watching the newscast at that time. They’ve said that the driver made a lot of U-turns on State Street before he hit the glass wall.

The man was charged with reckless driving and for driving a car without insurance.

The studio was ready to go in for the 5 a.m. newscast.

About 3:30 a.m. the car was towed away, according to Chicago Tribune.
