The shocking moments when a 12-year-old boy was swept under the wheels of a massive truck, yet miraculously got up and walked away, were captured on camera.
In Brazil, on Avenida Joaquim David, the young boy walking while dragging his bicycle had his jacket caught by a passing truck. In the heart-stopping footage, the elementary school student is seen being dragged under the huge tires as his bicycle is thrown to one side.
The horrific incident occurred on Wednesday in the city of Firminopolis, located in central Brazil. As the child was returning home from school, a massive Volvo FH 540 truck was turning onto the GO-060 highway.
After several sections of the multi-axle giant truck passed by the boy, his jacket got caught on the vehicle, flinging him under the wheels. The small child's body was seen being dragged several meters across the asphalt.
However, miraculously, the truck did not crush the child, and he managed to get up and start walking after the incident.
Employees from a nearby pharmacy who witnessed the event immediately rushed to help and provided first aid to the child.
Driver Left the Scene
According to health officials at Hospital Santa Gemma, the child managed to survive the incident with a fracture in his left wrist and some abrasions on his elbow. It was learned that the young boy would be transferred to the Dr. Valdemiro Cruz State Emergency Hospital (Hugol) in Goiania for surgery.
It was reported that the truck driver only learned of the accident when a friend sent him a video of the incident.
The driver contacted the Military Police, stating that he absolutely had no idea he had hit someone and therefore continued on his way. Claiming the child was in the blind spot of the rearview mirror, the driver requested the mother's contact information from the police.
Stating that he would support the family, the truck driver offered to cover all of the child's medical expenses.
Police teams continue their investigation into the incident.
