Chattanooga reporter Caitlyn Jones was live on CBS affiliate WDEF, telling viewers about the deteriorating conditions on local roadways when a pickup lost control and slammed into the guard rail behind her.
“Whew! Scary scene.” said Jones, who was standing on Highway 153. “He hit that guard rail pretty hard.”
A viewer tweeted out a vine of the wreck.

@SchwartzTV VERY true. Gotta ask if they were a distraction as well.

TVSpy is asking Dutch Terry, the station’s news director why Jones was standing on a highway in bad road conditions. We will update when we hear back.
