SAN FRANCISCO— Two journalists covering Monday's train derailment in Fremont nearly nearly became part of the tragedy Tuesday as a careening car drove right through their live report.

KTVU reporter Alex Savidge was speaking about developments in the Altamont Corridor Express commuter train derailment from a Niles Canyon roadside when the photographer he was working with warned him that he was in serious danger.

Fortunately for Savidge, he picked the right direction to dodge, as a white Toyota, which had been involved in a wreck moments earlier, plowed right through his location and hit the photographer's camera. The frightening moments were caught on camera.

"I'm still processing it all. My heart is still racing. I'm still processing it all," Savidge told colleagues at KTVU. "I am grateful to be ok, that's all I can say."

KTVU reports that police are investigating the crash but that "everyone is ok." Even the camera, which was hit by the car, remained upright.
