A video showing a toddler falling out of a running car on a busy road recently went viral on social media.

Twitter users were shocked to see the miraculous moment when the child managed to escape harm. The video, which did not mention the date and place where the incident took place, was shared on Twitter by a user named Shirin Khan.

In the CCTV footage, the child is seen falling out from the back of a white SUV. The child survives the fall and starts running toward the car on the busy road. The other vehicles stop after noticing the baby falling.

The vehicle in which the child was travelling stops and a person is seen stepping out. The person then runs toward the baby to pick it up. Meanwhile, a woman riding a scooter comes to a stop and holds the baby's hand.

Khan, who shared the video, captioned it: “How can this even happen?” The video was viewed by thousands of users.

"That toddler was mighty lucky, else .. dont want to think of it too. We cannot be so careless, at least not with the kids. Please...," one user wrote.

Other Twitter users were also concerned about how the child managed to fall off the car.

"Was that child sitting in the back trunk without seat belt?" another user commented.

"Just watching this made me full on anxious and thank goodness for that 2 wheeler in the end . I was scared some vehicle was going to come from the right side," a third wrote.

Some users blamed the parents for not being careful while having the toddler in the car. "Because we are living in 'development world' parents even can't have their child in their lap/protections..." one user wrote.

Earlier this month, a 2-year-old girl, who fell from the 12th-floor balcony of an apartment building, survived after a delivery man caught her. Nguyen Manh, 31, was sitting in his car to deliver a parcel in Vietnam when he saw the child hanging from the balcony. The man quickly got out of the car and positioned himself to catch her. The incident was caught on camera and the video went viral. "I stuck my head out of the car, looking around, and saw a girl climbing out of the balcony. I plunged out of the car immediately and found ways to climb into the nearby building. I mounted on a 2-meter-high tile roof to seek a proper position to get the girl," Manh told the Vietnam Times at the time. "Luckily, the baby fell into my lap," he added. "I hurriedly embraced her then saw blood leaking from her mouth, I was very frightened."
