The reporter jumped out of the way just as a white car plowed into the spot where he was standing. After the crash, one person is heard saying, "Oh my God! Are you alright?"

The reporter is heard saying that they're okay. Savidge posted on his Twitter feed that his heart was "racing like crazy," but he was all right.
