Atlanta police said that a woman who crashed her own car stole the van of the TV news channel that was covering the incident. She paid no heed to the news reporter's screams who was inside the van and ended up wrecking that vehicle too. 38-year-old Seniqua Lunsford took over the van when police arrived to investigate the crash. The WGCL-TV van had reached the place of the incident on Tuesday morning to cover it, Atlanta police spokesman Steve Avery said.

While news station's photographer was out of the video, reporter Itani Hughes was sitting in the back, editing video. Avery said she screamed on realising what had happened and tried to make her stop, but she did not listen to her. So, the reporter put on the seat belt and the van ended up crashing about 1.61 km from the first crash scene. Soon, officers got into the cars and followed the van trying to stop it. It happened around 6 am in Midtown Atlanta. The cops were investigating a car crash at 270 17th Street in northwest Atlanta when the crime happened. The van crashed near 250 The Prado.
