Part of the attraction of live TV is the thrill of the unexpected, however, a reporter that was nearly hit by a car as it veered off the road probably has a different perspective.
Alex Savidge of California news station KTVU was reporting on a story live on air when a car was pushed off the road and onto the sidewalk where he and his photographer were shooting. Savidge and the photographer were both unharmed.
As a result of the accident, the unidentified driver had their license taken away. Watch the thrilling close call in the video below:
