KJ Jacobs was giving a routine weather report for WCPO 9 News in the Cincinnati area Thursday night ... pointing to a car stopped in between the on-ramp and the highway with its hazard lights blinking. Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media. In the middle of his sentence, KJ watched a car change lanes, dart across the road and run smack into the back of the stopped vehicle. KJ began to say "Oh, sh..." before slapping a hand over his mouth and trailing off. KJ later shared the clips to his social media ... writing, "A natural reaction on LIVE TV, but I’m so glad I hit the brakes just in time! 🖐🏽👀."
