According to footage shared online, both the reporter and the biker were fortunate and only sustained minor injuries.

A correspondent for the Egyptian TV channel was hit by a scooter while he was delivering a live broadcast about how perilous the situation with the traffic on the roads is.

The journalist stood on the roadside holding a microphone with thick traffic streaming past in the background. Seconds into his report, he was hit by a man on a scooter. Although the reporter managed to remain upright, his microphone was knocked out of his hand. The biker fell from his vehicle.

The broadcast was interrupted, leaving the TV host a little bit embarrassed.
