2-year-old survives being run over by 2 cars in China
Two-year-old in China suffers minor bruises after being ran over by two cars.
— -- A 2-year-old toddler in China received just minor bruises after she was run over by two cars.
CCTV China surveillance video captured the terrifying moment when the tot dashed into street traffic in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
In the video, which was filmed Monday, the toddler can be seen observing traffic on the roadside for a few seconds before running across the road and being met by a white car, followed by another one close behind. After the two cars pass, the toddler appears to be lying face down on the ground before a woman, later identified as her grandmother, rushes over to scoop the girl up in her arms.
The toddler was immediately taken for medical attention. Doctors from No. 2 People's Hospital of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture said that the toddler only had minor bruises on her head and no other injuries. She was released Tuesday.
"The surveillance video footage on site and our preliminary investigation show that when the toddler was running across the road, she was in the blind zone of the first car and the driver didn't see her. And the following car was moving too closely behind the first one and the driver failed to see the toddler [too]. So both cars ran over her," said Guo Wei, a police officer with Xichang Public Security Bureau.
The toddler's father says that his daughter is a little frightened by the whole ordeal.
