WSVN posted its "Struck in the Street" story around noon. The Herald story contains a more detailed description of the unidentified woman, who remains in critical condition after being struck by a pick-up truck on US 411 Thursday morning. When Herald reporter Adam Beasley broke the story at 9:19 am, he had included the name of the hospital and a brief eye witness report, unlike WSVN. Yet, the Herald has not updated its story since this morning, and more "breaking news" is seemingly taking precedence.
Another notable difference is that WSVN reported that the woman was rushed to the hospital with "life-threatening injuries," while the Herald attributed that description to a Miramar police spokesman and used the word "critical," instead, to describe her condition. WSVN's use of the word "life-threatening" has a more negative connotation than the Herald's use of "critical," which can at least imply that there is hope for her...
Well, hopefully WSVN and the Miami Herald will post more information later today, as soon as police identify the woman.
FYI: local10.com and nbc6.net published the same story as WSVN.
