Caught on CCTV: The moment a child is run over by a car - and survives
The moment a man accidentally ran over a child has been caught on camera. Incredibly, the toddler survived. CCTV footage shows the boy jump up on his feet and run to safety shortly after being run over. The video was posted on
LiveLeak on Friday by user "w4chi" who titled it "Lucky Day." Lucky, indeed.
The nearly two-minute long video begins with two men and a boy walking towards a parked Volkswagen car. As they look at something in the car's boot, the toddler wanders away from them and begins playing in front of the vehicle. The child's presence goes unnoticed by the other three men, who are busy in conversation.
For nearly two minutes, the child in blue shorts busies himself with playful activities near the car. Nobody notices the moment he plonks himself right in front of the car and starts playing with dirt and pebbles.
Eventually, one of the men gets in the car and drives off - unaware he is about to run over a young child.
The child disappears under the car - and out of sight - for a horrifying few seconds.
But as soon as the car drives off, the toddler jumps up on his feet. Miraculously, he appears unhurt. Only then does does the other adult male - presumably the child's father - realise what a close escape the child has just had. The video ends as the scared little boy running towards the man for comfort.
