Independent reporter again hints at move to Florida days after alleging a hit and run

Geoffrey Rogers generates thousands of views documenting Rochester, NY. New livestream video has emerged which implicates him as the cause of a brutal car crash.

A clip of a recent GSL News live stream on 14 April appears to show CEO Geoffery Rogers audibly revving his engine before a devastating impact caused his airbags to deploy.

Rogers later posted an update concerning the crash and addressed accusations that he was in a road race:

• “Unfortunately things like this happen and it’s all life lessons. I will be getting a new car and moving forward from this situation. I will be back reporting on the road in no time. There is a video where you can only see the inside of my car. No I was not racing. I will not further comment on this car accident.”

Audio from the clip appears to demonstrate Rogers revving the engine loudly enough to be heard for 19 seconds before impact.

• 7 seconds before impact, Rogers appears to intensify the acceleration, and the engine is heard at a much higher RPM rate

• Rogers alleged that a “…blue Ford Escape took off with damage to the vehicle.”

Aftermath

• Rogers has since posted on the X, formerly Twitter, that his move to the state of Florida is “still happening.”

  • Rogers is also conducting a poll on the same platform asking, “Should I quit news?”

• Some pictures have emerged of the aftermath that appear to confirm the livestream clip’s contents, and vice-versa.

  • Some social media users have claimed direct contact with those who have been injured as a result of the alleged crash.

• Geoffery Rogers has had numerous run-ins with law enforcement stemming from criminal weapons possession, car theft, and numerous traffic violations.

  • An episode of the Billified podcast, hosted by Jewish producer Bill Moran, recounted parts of Rogers’ sordid history with the law and detailed a days-long joy ride he once enjoyed in an unmarked police car.

  • Rogers describes using the vehicle to both cover the news and to menace neighborhood bullies.

• As of 16 April, GSL News appears to be up and running.

  • The future of the site and various projects—such as an upcoming documentary and biography of Rogers’ life—remain unconfirmed.
