By Kevin Eck 

KTVU reporter Alex Savidge had a close call this morning.

Savidge was live on the San Francisco Bay Area Fox-owned station when he was nearly hit by a car that had hit another car. He was doing a report about a train derailment.

Viewers couldn’t see what happened since the story was in video at the time, but they could hear the sound of the crash along with someone saying some choice words. The crash was quickly followed by a voice saying Savidge was OK.
