Dashcam video captures moment boy hit by car
A Singapore schoolboy is lucky to be alive after he was struck
by a car while running across the street. Warning: video might disturb some viewers.
The driver’s dashcam captured the entire incident, which has now gone viral on the internet.
The child reportedly ran across the road without looking from behind a stationary bus.
He was flung into the air and thrown across the car’s bonnet before landing on the ground, according to the Daily Mail.
The boy also missed being hit by a bus travelling in the opposite direction.
Bystanders ran to the boy’s aid. He struggled to get up and could not walk properly.
Thankfully, the schoolboy did not sustain any severe injuries, and reportedly left the scene before the ambulance arrived.
Local media report that the boy’s parents later took him to hospital, and he is resting at home after the incident.
“It is... easy to cast blame when it is the negligence of the parents to inculcate road safety... It is not fair to blame drivers all the time,” a local school official was quoted as saying, according to the Daily Mail.
