A TV anchor in Colombia was left injured after a portion of the studio set fell on him while he was on air during a broadcast

A TV anchor in Colombia was left injured after a portion of the studio set fell on him while he was on air during a broadcast of ESPN FC Radio. Carlos Orduz, of ESPN Colombia, was lucky enough that he didn’t suffer any major injuries. A video of the incident is going viral on social media.

He was part of panellists during a show when a huge monitor-like structure from the set fell on him, crushing him into the desk.

After a medical examination, Orduz informed that he got a bruise and a blow to the nose, adding that otherwise, he was doing fine.

In the video, the sports analyst can be seen sitting on a chair during the live show, when a piece of set crashes on his back suddenly and he is slammed into his desk. The camera quickly cut off the shot, and the show’s host looked shocked but couldn’t move as he was on live television so he called for a commercial.

Greetings and thanks,” Carlos Orduz tweeted in Spanish.
