WFLA‘s Adrienne Pedersen was reporting live outside of a local gas station this morning when two cars collided behind her, spinning out of control through an intersection.

Although the screeching tires and metal crunch of the crash were clearly audible to viewers, Pedersen didn’t realize what had happened until anchor Gayle Guyardo pointed it out to her.

Pedersen was reporting on rising gas prices when the accident occurred.

Guyardo joked that the drivers were “probably shocked by the high gas prices” (video inside).
