Shocking footage out of Brazil shows the moment a Brazilian boy and his grandmother were mowed down by a car while walking together.
By some miracle, the pair, identified by Britain's The Independent newspaper as Vilma Nascimento and her grandson, Joao, managed to walk away from the accident, which occurred in the central city of Anápolis. Brazilian TV reported on the incident on Tuesday.
In the video, the tyke clutches his grandmother's hand as a vehicle approaching them up the road crashes into a car pulling out of a side road.
The first car swerves and then plows into a parked white Chevy, which crashes into the woman and the boy.
Both are thrown to the ground and the Chevy appears to run over the little boy's head as it skids across the sidewalk.
Incredibly, the boy pops up almost immediately and runs over to help his grandmother.
The Independent reported that the boy was unhurt, while Nascimento suffered only minor wounds to her legs and feet. She was released from the hospital after about a day, the newspaper said.
