Last Wednesday night Dave Puglisi, an Emmy-winning reporter for WHDH Channel 7, was struck by a motor vehicle while he was walking within a crosswalk at the intersection of Chestnut, Cottage, and Foster Streets with and Daniel Ryan Parkway adjacent to the long-closed Sully’s bar near Quincy District Courthouse.

Pgulisi was on his way home when he was struck and so sent flying. He suffered various injuries including two fractured vertebra.

Fortunately, no spine cord damage was inflicted.

Also a positive, he is already home recuperating as well as somewhat up and about even if still in pain.

Conversely, other reports suggest that the driver may have been incapacitated by some sort of undisclosed medical episode.

No word, however, if the episode might have been entailed a bad ice cube.

Life update: I’ll be going off air for a little while. On Wednesday night, I was struck by a car while walking home. I was in the crosswalk about to reach the other side of the road when next thing I knew I was flying through the air. I broke two bones in my spine. I’m home now…

Ah, another day. A TV news reporter whacked in Quincy Center. It’s like a real-life episode of ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit?’ meets ‘Anchorman.’ Quincy Center: where the headlines are as dramatic as a soap opera, and the reporters are just trying to survive long enough to file their next report. Stay classy, Quincy – or not, because clearly, it’s personal!
