Toronto, Ontario — April 2, 2018 — On Thursday, retired CTV anchor Lloyd Robertson was given the nudge he needed to get back in front of a news camera – one that also sent him careening on the highway.
The venerable newsman, who retired in 2013, reported on his own accident after a vehicle struck his car’s left side at the rear, sending his vehicle into a swerve and ultimately striking a nearby van.
“I’m told by police friends that this is where they would hit them when they want to spin them out,” said the unflappable Robertson, who had been handed the microphone by the on-scene reporter from the CTV offices Robertson was headed for, planning to attend a retirement party.
Neither Robertson nor the other driver were injured in the crash. His famously thick head of hair also escaped unharmed, despite the airbags which deployed on him during the incident.
