WHDH’s Dave Puglisi said he broke two bones in his spine after getting hit in a crosswalk on his walk home.
A Channel 7 reporter will be off-air for a bit after he was hit by a car last Wednesday.
Dave Puglisi, WHDH’s investigative reporter, said he’s now at home recovering from two broken bones in his spine. He said he’s walking but is in pain.`
He shared a picture of him in a hospital bed giving a thumbs up on Monday.
“I’m bummed to be put on the bench like this but I hope to be back soon,” he wrote. “Until then, stay safe and look both ways when crossing the street.”
Puglisi said he was walking home last Wednesday night when he was hit by a car while in the crosswalk.
“Next thing I knew I was flying through the air,” Puglisi wrote.
Puglisi joined Channel 7 last June, where he has covered a wide range of topics including crosswalk safety. In a statement, the news station said they were notified immediately about the “horrible incident.”
“Dave is anxious to get back to work, but we want him to have time to fully recover,” Channel 7 said.
