Reporter Halts Live Broadcast to Help Cyclist Who Flipped Over Handlebars in 'Big Wipeout'
A TV reporter in Chicago left his coworkers puzzled when he abruptly halted his segment and ducked out of the frame. Thankfully, Christian Piekos and his crew from ABC affiliate WLS were okay — the journalist was reporting on extreme heat when he jumped to help a cyclist who had collided with a runner on the trail by DuSable Harbor, he explained. The moment took place in the early morning on Wednesday, July 23, when Piekos was in the middle of his segment. "All eyes right now are on that extreme heat watch for much—" Piekos began to say, before exclaiming, "Oh, shoot." He then appeared to drop his microphone and ran out of the frame, which lingered on a shot of the trail for a moment before the report cut back to the studio, where one of the surprised anchors said, "Christian Piekos, out there live this morning. We'll check back soon." When the studio cut back to Piekos just moments later, he explained, "We're just fine." "Literally, as we were talking with you guys a few minutes ago, a runner and a cyclist collided on the trail," he said. "Big wipeout for the cyclist. He went over his handlebars, his helmet actually broke, so we ran right over to make sure that he was doing okay."

Piekos said the biker was "up and moving around" after the incident, which left him with some scrapes and a "badly damaged" bike. While he brought over a med kit, the biker declined assistance. Piekos described the ordeal as "a scary situation," cautioning viewers, "You've got to be careful out here on the trail with so many people running and cycling at the same time." He added, "Long story short, that's why we ran over. We're all good. The crew and I are doing just fine, but obviously thinking about our buddy over here who had a pretty bad wipeout."

Her Husband Believes The Government Isn't Real And That They Don't Have To Pay Back Anything. So They Didn't And Now Owe $900K In Total
A woman named Mary from Charlotte, North Carolina, called into a recent episode of 'The Ramsey Show,' hosted by George Kamel and Ken Coleman, to explain how her husband's fringe beliefs nearly destroyed their finances, and may still ruin their future. He Said They Didn't Owe Anything. Then the IRS Came Calling 'He got into the sovereign citizen thing about seven years ago,' Mary said. According to her, the movement claims the U.S. government is illegitimate and that Americans don't actually owe taxes, mortgages or loans. Some believers even think their Social Security numbers are tied to secret government accounts worth billions. Don't Miss: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics—now it's your turn to $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. Mary said her husband fully bought in. 'He stopped paying our taxes, he stopped paying our mortgage and our car loans,' she told the hosts. She didn't find out until the sheriff showed up with foreclosure papers. By the time she took over the finances, Mary discovered they owed more than $500,000 to the IRS—and that's not including $170,000 left on their mortgage, $50,000 in car loans, $20,000 on a home loan, $65,000 in student loans, $30,000 in unpaid contract labor, and $60,000 to $70,000 in medical debt. 'They repossessed my car,' she recalled. Then, after getting the car back and not paying the loan back for another seven months, they came out with foreclosure papers again. Trending: This AI-Powered Trading Platform Has 5,000+ Users, 27 Pending Patents, and a $43.97M Valuation — Despite earning around $300,000 a year through his commercial contracting business, her husband refused to use his income responsibly. 'He says he doesn't care about money,' Mary said, but admitted he still spends freely. 'We have no savings.' Kamel was direct: 'This guy doesn't seem like he cares about providing for you. Seems like he's more into his little conspiracy group.' 'I don't see a guy who loves you,' added Coleman. Mary said she now controls the household finances, and her husband has agreed not to make purchases without her permission. But she's overwhelmed. 'I was a stay-at-home mom for 25 years,' she said. She also recently lost her job as a worship leader due to what her church called 'safety concerns' related to her husband's legal trouble. 'Even they see the writing on the wall,' said hosts laid out a plan: prioritize paying off the IRS, consider selling the house to access equity, and completely separate finances from her husband. They also recommended freezing his credit to prevent future damage and consulting a lawyer. 'This is beyond bananas. You are very unsafe,' Coleman told her. 'He can say he loves you, but this is not the act of love.' They closed the segment by offering her a free financial coaching session. 'You're the best woman in the world. I think most women would have long since left this clown. You've got to fight for you right now with everything you've got,' Coleman said.
