In a shocking incident captured on camera, a 6-year-old child in Vasai, near Mumbai, was run over by a car, but miraculously survived the ordeal. The disturbing footage, which has since gone viral, shows the car dragging the child before running over him with its rear wheel. Despite the traumatic incident, the child is reported to have sustained injuries but managed to get up and walk away.
The incident occurred on Wednesday in Naipada Village, Waliv, Vasai East, near a garbage mound where the child was crouching. The video footage shows a car, seemingly a cab, that had stopped near a gate and garbage piles. The driver remained in the car as two passengers switched places. As the boy ran in front of the car and crouched near the garbage, the driver unexpectedly started the vehicle, took a turn, and hit the child. The boy was dragged under the vehicle and the rear wheel ran over his torso.
Shockingly, the car did not stop or slow down after hitting the child, continuing to drive away as if nothing had happened. The boy, who was visibly shaken but conscious, managed to get up and walk toward other children who had run to his aid.
The child is currently undergoing medical treatment at a hospital, and authorities have registered a case against an unknown driver. The police are now working to identify the owner of the vehicle and locate the person responsible for the incident.
“We are trying to identify the owner of the car and figure out who was behind the wheel at the time of the incident,” a police official stated. Investigations are ongoing, and efforts are being made to bring the driver to justice for the reckless behavior that endangered the life of a young child.
The incident has left the community in shock, with many expressing outrage over the driver’s callousness and the danger posed to pedestrians in the area.
