Nail-biting moment Chinese toddler falls from family’s van onto motorway

This was the nail-biting moment a toddler fell from a family’s van as it travelled along a motorway in east China.

The young boy tumbled out of the boot of the vehicle when its back door became loose and landed in the middle of the road in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province.

But incredibly, he avoided being hit by the car travelling behind.

Dramatic dash-cam footage showed the child getting to his feet and desperately running after the van.

A person travelling in the car behind was then heard shouting; “There’s a child, my goodness!”

The boy was soon after rescued by the second car’s driver and reunited with his family, Xinhua reported.
