Yesterday KTVU San Francisco Bay Area reporter Alex Savidge and his cameraman Chip Vaughan were almost hit by a car during a live TV report they were shooting. Vaughan saw the car coming a yelled at Savidge allowing him get out of the way just in time. Savidge followed up with an emotional live shot.

Grateful… Well that was truly the most frightening thing that's ever happened to me! And I want to make sure…
