In a sentence

危(あぶ)ない!dangerous車(くるま)carが来(く)るよis coming

Danger! A car is coming!

How it works

Two beats, glued by urgency. First the warning shouts out alone — 危ない(あぶない) (dangerous) — then the reason follows. が (subject) marks 車(くるま) (car) as the thing doing the action, and 来る(くる) (is coming) stays in plain form because there's no time to be polite. The final よ (I'm telling you!) pushes the alert at the listener — “heads up!”
