Shortly afterwards, Savidge explained the incident on air. “Chip just yelled out, ‘Get out of the way,'” he said. “I instinctually jumped to my right… which is good, because the car came right by on my left-hand side.”
Savidge also posted a video to his personal Facebook page assuring his followers that he was OK and thanking people for their concern. “Close Call!! Almost got hit by a car live on-air, heart still pounding,” he captioned the clip.
