A taxi driver in Merseyside, northwest England warned parents to "never let their guard down" after this near-collision when a child ran into the road and in front of his car.

Andrew Westmoreland, 30, was on his way to a pickup when a young girl darted out from behind a parked black van in Southport on April 8.

He slammed his breaks down on the white Ford Mondeo and stopped three or four feet away from the girl, who kept running.
