The heart-stopping footage comes with a happy ending though. Seconds later she springs back to her feet and toddles to the nearest adult.


A witness, Raj Singh, told the media he tried to intervene when he saw the potentially deadly accident unfolding before his eyes.

"I saw the car running over the little girl, I ran towards her but by the time I got to her she was already up and walking," he said.
