60 Minutes' Bob Simon Dead at 73
 

60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon died Wednesday evening in a car accident in New York.

The CBS newsman was riding in a livery cab that struck another car and then crashed into a median on the West Side Highway, his network confirmed.

Simon, the recipient of 24 Emmy awards, began regularly contributing to the Sunday-night newsmagazine in 1996. He also was a correspondent for 60 Minutes II; when that series wrapped in 2005, he worked full-time on 60 Minutes.

Simon’s most recent piece for the series was a feature on the Academy Award-nominated film Selma.

More to come…

Tragic.

RIP Bob Simon.

He was a great correspondent. I remember when he was captured during the Iraq war.

Too bad, I enjoyed his reporting.

Never heard of him.

Rip simon.

He honestly was one of the BEST investigative reporters around. We could use more men AND women like him now days.

VERY sad. Makes me not want to take livery cabs on the West Side Highway now. :(
