10 days ago, FTVLive told you that longtime WLNE Sports Anchor Ken Bell said that he is retiring after the July book. 

This weekend, he almost got "retired" a bit early. 

GoLocalProv reports that the Anchor was involved in a pretty nasty car crash outside WLNE  studio on Saturday night.

Providence resident and Uber driver Anthony Sionni witnessed the accident.

"I was driving for Uber and was right behind Ken, I saw the accident. Ken had a green light and a car was making a turn and crashed right into him," said Sionni. "I dropped off my riders and went back to the scene and told police I would be a witness to the accident."

"Ken was very grateful and thanked me. He said he never been in an accident when the airbags went off," said Sionni. " Ken looked to be OK. I was glad to help."
