"Fuck me," Savidge can be heard saying just off-camera immediately after the accident, followed a number of people saying that they're "OK."
"They were at the scene of the train derailment in Niles Canyon this morning: a car accident almost ended it all for both of them," fellow KTVU reporter Gasia Mikaelian wrote on Facebook.
