New video released Thursday shows a young Chinese child narrowly escaping death after falling out of the rear door of a moving minivan and being run over by a car last month.
Surveillance video shows the rear door of a minivan slowly opened and a child fell out of it onto the road as the vehicle pulled away from an intersection. Before the child could stand up, the car behind the minivan drove over the child and then stopped.
