UTV Ireland reporter doesn't even flinch when stray van ploughs through her shot

Beeeeeeeeep.

IF YOU TUNED in to watch the first ever UTV Ireland news bulletin last night, you may have had your nerves shot about five minutes in.

Poor Mary Regan, the stations new political editor, had a near-miss outside the government buildings when a van veered VERY close.

But, being the hardcore pro she is, she barely even blinked.

Viewers were concerned.

Did feel a little anxious for that reporter almost getting mowed down by the passing vehicle at the start lol #utvireland #irelandlive

Near death experience for the Pol Cor on UTV. No doubt they are scrapping with RTE for Sat Van position opposite Dail.
