A terrifying video of a child being run over by a car surprisingly ends up on a happy note.

The video, posted only hours ago by CGTN on Twitter, shows passers-by rounding up and lifting the car to help rescue the boy. Their effort helps the boy escape the ordeal with minor injuries, reports Indian news agency NDTV.

The incident occurred on November 13 in east China’s Yueqing County. The boy was tying his shoelaces on the road when the car accidentally ran over him.

The video shows the occupants of the car running out to check on the boy. Upon realising that the boy was stuck under the vehicle, the couple are seen trying to lift the car in order to free him. Watching them, passers-by also jump to the rescue of the boy.

According to the video, the group successfully lifted the car and moved the boy away from harm’s way. He was rushed to the hospital but luckily wasn’t seriously injured.

A closer look at the video shows it was the boy’s backpack, which came under the car’s tyre, helped save his life.
