Long explanation:
'다가는' is a pattern used to express the idea of 'if (one) keeps doing something, then (something bad) will happen'. It shows what may happen in the future if someone continues the action specified before '다가는'. The verb in front is used in its infinitive form (verb stem + 다), which is followed by '가는' to create '다가는'. It is usually used to warn or caution someone.
