Last I checked, local news was generally more interested in who got shot in the bad parts of town, or in running stories along the lines of, "WARNING: [insert common household object/product] CAN KILL YOU!"
They had plenty else to say about the convention, about the campaign in general, about the aftermath of Gustav, etc.; and goodness knows, if a traffic accident halfway across the continent is dramatic enough, the local stations here will report on it the same way they do local stories.
