He did it "its way"

Tonight, on News 24, Darren Bett managed to fit "its way" after three verbs in a few seconds. We had "streak its way", "pile its way", and "push its way". Why not just "streak", "pile", and "push"?

Are they running some sort of contest to see who can achieve the most unnecessary uses of "its way"? Graham Helen Willets said earlier that it we will see the strongest winds of the year so far!

I think it was Helen that said that the winds would be strong, particularly over Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales.........
