Watch: Speeding Car Avoids Disastrous Collision With Running Child In Hair-Raising Video

While coming home from school, we have all experienced making a mistake or two while crossing the road. Children often stay unaware of their surroundings and focus ahead. In times like these, parents often worry about their child¡¯s safety. A new video showing the dangers of letting children run free while crossing roads has left people shocked online.

Car Dodges Collision With Running Child In Viral Video

Twitter

In the video that has quickly gone viral on Twitter, CCTV footage captures how a speeding car narrowly dodges hitting a child who runs head first while crossing the road. In the clip, a black sedan approaches an intersection while moving at high speed, which gives it little to no time to notice the pair of mothers and their sons crossing the road.

As the car tries to fly past the interaction, the child unpredictably launches to cross the road, leaving his mom behind, and as a result, almost gets crushed by the car. The car narrowly avoids the child and continues along its path.

The child, though safe, now gets a stern beating from his mother, who would have been shaken by the incident. The petrifying video garnered over 13.7 million views in one day as people joined in to comment on the scary video.

After the car disappeared from the scene, the mom reunited with the child on the other side of the road, and her first move was to hit the child back to his senses. This gesture was not appreciated by everyone, as one user wrote, "Sorry but I'd instantly kiss and hug my child... that's just pure luck and joy."

While one supported the mother, ¡°This is the distinction between a nice parent and a good parent. You don¡¯t want to reward your child for running away from you to cross a street without being careful with kisses and hugs. They¡¯ll never learn to NOT do that if they¡¯re not properly disciplined.¡±

One thought: "She must be awarded the "coldest mother" award. That was a massive under-reaction from her to THAT incident."

However, not everyone was happy with the driver, ¡°Driver was equally wrong, he shouldn't have been that fast especially he cd see parent and kid from distance, driving is all about anticipation!¡± one user noted.
