Carlos Orduz, a journalist who works on ESPN Colombia, tweeted that he wasn’t injured badly in an accident that looked horrifying to television viewers.
During a broadcast, a piece of the set fell down over Orduz’s back, slamming him against the desk he was sitting at. Cameras immediately cut away.
But Orduz tweeted Wednesday that he was only bruised and took “a blow to the nose (no fracture),” per a translation of the tweet.
“To those who wrote to me and greeted me about the accident last night,” he said, “I must tell you that I am fine, thank God after the medical check-up.”
A quienes me escribieron y me saludaron por el accidente de anoche, debo contarles que estoy bien, gracias a Dios después del chequeo médico, de los exámenes respectivos, se descartó cualquier tema, solo una magulladura y un golpe en la nariz (sin fractura). Saludos y gracias 👍
