Didn't this happen to a female reporter from the same station a few years back?

Yes. Stephanie Villella in 2023 by a 92 year old driver.

Time to start putting down spike strips and then immediately arresting anyone who hits the strips, and charging them with attempted manslaughter for ignoring the closure barrier

Awful. I’ve seen him before at events at my work.

There's a photo if you look at the article. It's a big barrier, middle of the road, flashing lights "ROAD CLOSED BY POLICE ORDER." If she failed to see that entire barricade that's an even more incredible failure than failing to see somebody in the road.
