This is the miraculous moment a young boy cheated death and escaped unscathed after coming under a moving car in western India.

The incident, captured on CCTV cameras, took place on Aug. 19 at Hare Krishna society in Gujarat state's Surat district.

Visual showed the boy crouching down while holding an umbrella.

He must have been engrossed in something as he did not move while a car approached towards him while reversing.

The driver too overlooks the crouching boy and runs over the vehicle.

Fortunately, it didn't pick a lot of speed, thus the boy wasn't run over.

Footage showed people running out to stop the car as the passengers got down hearing the commotion.

Much to their relief, the boy came out unscathed.

A woman, believed to be his mother, was seen embracing the boy after he emerged from under the wheels.

The boy has been identified as Deep Pansuriya, 7.

Deep was waiting for his mother to drop him to the school. He squatted on the road outside his house with the umbrella over his head.

Meanwhile, the driver of the car began to reverse the vehicle unaware of the boy sitting on the road. He continued driving and the boy came under the car between its two rear wheels.

One of his neighbours noticed the incident and began to shout for help. The car driver could not hear her screams since the window panes were closed.

Finally, the driver stopped on noticing the woman waving at him from outside and came out of the vehicle to see the boy under the car.

Witnesses said that the open umbrella in the hands of the boy helped him survive as it got stuck underneath the car, thereby shielding him as he was being dragged along to some distance.

Deep was taken for medical examination by his family where the doctors declared him normal. However, the boy was advised to rest by the doctors because of the shock that he suffered.

The family did not lodge any complaint as the car driver is their neighbour.
