Midway through the report, video footage shows two sedans crashing into each other.

One of the cars then appears to drive away, the video shows.

The news crew called 911 to report the crash, KTLA reported. Officers told Kang that they suspect the driver of the runaway vehicle was involved in a previous crime.

Police took a license plate that fell off the vehicle, per KTLA.

Kang said on Twitter that the news crew helped the victims.

No one from the collision appeared to have been injured, KTLA said.

A former KTLA colleague joked that Kang had staged the crash in a Twitter post. The reporter replied, "Looks so 'Hollywood' but I couldn't even make that up! Lol!"

Kang's report was on a hit-and-run collision that killed a 42-year-old man at the same crossing on February 26, per the local media outlet. Jemmy "Jimmy" Chavarria was on his way to church when he was fatally struck, police said in a news conference.

The driver involved in that incident still hasn't been found as of Saturday morning, according to KTLA.
