- Man shuffled into the frame of a live Seven News shot and started dancing
- A Toyota Camry lost control in the rain and smashed through a shop front
- No one was hurt during the incident – and the man’s dance has gone viral
A live TV cross took a light-hearted turn when a young man started dancing in front of a dramatic car crash scene in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers.
Nobody was hurt when a vehicle slammed into a video shop in Punchbowl in Sydney’s south-west on Friday evening.
Channel Seven crime reporter Laura Banks was broadcasting live when the frame was dominated by a dancing man in a yellow hoodie attempting to lighten the mood.
The young man shuffled into the shot and performed a robot-style dance before a confused emergency worker motioned for him to stop.

The comical shot played out in front of firefighters who were on hand to extract the vehicle which had smashed into a shop front in Sydney.
Despite the situation, veteran journalist Ms Banks carried on with the report without faltering.
The owner of the DVD store said it was fortunate no one was killed after the Toyota Camry lost control in the rain at The Boulevard in Punchbowl.
‘It was lucky,’ he told Ms Banks.
‘I had a couple of customers a couple of minutes ago with three kids.’
The store owner said the vehicle narrowly missed him too.
What caused the car to veer of the road remains a mystery as the driver refused to speak on camera.
