Alissa Carlson, a meteorologist at KCAL CBS in Los Angeles, is recovering from a head injury after collapsing Saturday in a moment that alarmed colleagues and viewers alike.
The hosts of the show were about to go to her when she suddenly leaned forward, fell on the desk, then off the desk and completely off camera:
Anchors quickly became commercial.
NBC News reported that staff immediately called 911 and Carlson was taken to the hospital for treatment.
“Thank you for all the messages, calls and well wishes,” Carlson wrote on Facebook on Saturday. “I will be fine!”
On Sunday, he added that he was recovering from a head injury and had left the hospital.
“Luckily it’s not my heart this time,” she wrote, referring to a 2014 incident in which she vomited while on air at KGET, the NBC station in Bakersfield, Calif., that turned out to be caused by a leaky heart valve. .
KCAL said it will return to the air “as soon as it is well enough to return.”
