The type of freak accident which is every parent’s nightmare was captured on film last week and spread online today.
In an instant, a boy running down a busy road is propelled beneath the wheels of a truck which, somewhat fortunately, only runs over his right leg in Bangkok’s Bang Kho Laem district on Jan. 15.
“I really feel sorry for him, but he is a strong kid. He didn’t cry at all,” wrote Sun Rku, who claimed to be a rescue volunteer who helped the boy.
The video shows the boy, who appears about 12, pushed into the truck’s path by a careless driver who hits him by opening the door of his parked vehicle.
Fortunately the boy’s injuries do not seem to be serious.
“The insurance [of the man who opened the door] took care of [the expense],” Sun Rku added. “Luckily his leg wasn’t broken. The wheel didn’t exactly crush him. He only had an open wound.”
