"Narrowly injuring"?

CP24 has for a full week now been running a photo of a UFC fighter for a story about UCF the college basketball team, can't expect too much.

Narrowly injuring means they got squashed flat, duh

I think they meant to say "Narrowly avoiding injuring a pedestrian", but that's really bad proofreading.

You watch, I'm going to have some horrific spelling or grammar issue now :P

So disappointed. I expected a smashed toe or something.

Somebody needs some driver training!

Did the cop jump out and start emptying their clip at the vehicle, or is that just an American thing?

Wonder what the "thin blue line" has to say about this.
