4-Year-Old Survives Freak Car Accident Down Stairs
Andrew Robichaud — July 3, 2009 — Pop Culture
This tough little 4-year old is lucky to still be around. A freak car accident in Turkey sent this boy airbourne after a car flew down a set of stairs right after clipping the child in the behind.
The pictures don’t do the event justice but the video shows the speed and impact of the car on the Turkish kid. It’s rather amazing that the little boy stands up relatively okay (he’s probably more shocked than anything).
I guess I can say we’re all relieved that something worse didn’t come out of the whole situation. Did the driver suffer any repercussions (couple of demerit points…maybe)?
