Flash Bulletin: Jason Priestly Severely Injured In Irl Development Race
No other news available right now - -just came across the wires on CNN. They really didn't even know what the series was or what he was doing, but said they will update the news as they can. "Severely injured" is all they know.
Although it was an emergency announcement, the guy giving the bulletin did manage to mention every single one of Priestly's sponsors. |

Nice observation Liz! A professional effort by the broadcasters there, staying cool in a crisis, at least when there's money at stake. |
