A car nearly crashed into a reporter while he was on live TV covering a train derailment in Alameda.

KTVU reporter Alex Savidge was really lucky when the two cars crashed behind him and one of them careened towards him and his cameraman.

The white Toyota was turning right, straight into the path of the silver Honda. After the vehicles crashed, the white Toyota continued its course, with police believing that the driver may have hit the gas instead of the brakes.

The woman driving the Toyota has since lost her license, with the crash still to be under investigation.

The reporter later gave credit to his cameraman for yelling at him to get out of the way. He then jumped to his right out of instinct, with the car luckily on his left side.
