infant knocked down by minivan in China

A surveillance video has shown an infant playing alone, before being knocked down by a minivan in a farm produce wholesale market in Xuzhou, east China’s Jiangsu Province. The boy, who was less than two years old, tried to crawl out from under the minivan after the accident, and his parents, who had been nearby chatting in the market, rushed over and pulled him out. Thanks to the slippery road, the wheels of the van locked, pushing the boy along for a few meters rather than running straight over him. The boy suffered no critical injuries, according to the local hospital. Police advised that parents should learn from this accident, and look after their children at all times.
