Hoon Of The Day: News Van Drag Racing

Oops. While drag racing a news van in a larger market like San Antonio or Houston wouldn't cause such a stir, in El Paso it'll get you fired. The difference? In those big cities they have more live trucks, production vehicles and satellite rigs to cover a war. Chris Bernal, a photographer for KDBC, found out the hard way that heads will roll if you race the station's only live truck. Though they may have thought they had a monopoly on coverage of the event, you can hear someone in the video saying "every cell phone is out" to film it. Oops. [CarScoop, KVIA]
