Honestly, it's surprising that this story came from a local "news" station and not from Fox News' website. It holds zero relevance to anyone except the man who was hit, and even then he only received minor cuts and bruises. What was really surprising though was the fact that this "story" takes place almost halfway across the country. Even if it were locally relevant, it wouldn't matter because we're nowhere near there! It wouldn't be shocking if the only reason they reported on this story was because WDRB didn't have any important stories to report on and they needed something to use as filler. This story is proof that modern news organizations focus too much on making the interesting important, and not the important interesting.
