The dramatic incident, which saw the two year old youngster roll out of the back seat, was captured on camera and swiftly posted to Facebook, in a clip which is quickly going viral. The child can clearly be seen courtesy of their pink coat as the heart-wrenching incident unfolds. Driver Cheddar Mock, who was driving behind the vehicle in question in Mankato, Southern Minnesota, captured the drama on his dashcam. As the dark-coloured vehicle travels around a bend, the rear passenger door is flung open.
The child was fitted into a car seat as they travelled.
Yet they then fell out much to the horror of those on the road.
Describing his response at the time, Cheddar put on Facebook: “If it didn’t happen in front of me I’d never have believed it.”
He added: “The parents came back.
“Paramedics and police checked the child out as well. Very lucky.”
