A shocking video has been circulating on social media recently, showing a small boy playing on a tricycle and suddenly entering the middle of the road, almost getting run over by at least 2 vehicles.
The 34-second dashcam footage was believed to have been recorded from inside a lorry and was shared online by many social media pages, including this post by X user @nanmanjoi8715.
At the start of the video, the vehicle can be seen driving on a road near Kg Semarang in Dengkil Selangor, with a black car in front of it.
A few seconds in, the black car suddenly swerved to the right as if avoiding something.
The video was then zoomed in to show a small boy playing on his tricycle suddenly entering the road.
Thankfully, the vehicle from which the dashcam footage was recorded also managed to slow down and avoid hitting the boy.
