A nine-year-old boy has survived after being run over and dragged by a car in northern China.

CCTV footage captured in Baiquan county in Heilongjiang province on July 31 shows a man walking towards his parked car and starting it. He fails to see a boy squatting on the ground and runs over him.

The boy was dragged forward for around five metres before appearing from under the car.

A nearby shop owner contacted the boy's parents and the boy was then sent to hospital for treatment.

Fortunately, the boy only suffered minor injuries.

Although this youngster got lucky, China is responsible for 20 per cent of all traffic-related fatalities globally, according to World Health Organisation figures.

The incident happened on July 31 but the CCTV video was released by the authority today (September 25).

前不久
拜泉县富强镇发生了惊险一幕
一名9岁的小男孩在路上玩时
遭到一辆轿车碾轧
监控拍下了整个过程。
监控显示，7月31号上午9点多，一名小男孩蹲在人行道上玩，这时，一名男子上了停在男孩后面的车。车辆启动后，竟然从男孩的身上碾压了过去。
另一名小男孩见状招了一下手，但轿车并没有停下，将男孩拖行了十米左右，小男孩重新出现在画面中。可以看出小男孩当时是趴着的，随后小男孩起身蹲在了一旁。轿车似乎一直没有发觉，直接离开了现场。
旁边店铺的老板娘发现后，赶紧联系了男孩的家长，随后将男孩送往医院。幸运的是，男孩只是有些皮外伤和韧带拉伤，没有生命危险。
