Video: Boy hit by car in front of mom

A little boy was seen on camera hit by a car before the eyes of his mother as he tried to cross a busy road on his own in Saudi Arabia.

A YouTube showed one car managed to evade the boy but he was hit by another vehicle coming in the other direction and was thrown metres away.

The footage in the Saudi daily Sada showed the boy’s mother and scores of shoppers hurried to the boy, who was seen lying on the road. The paper did not mention what happened to the boy after the accident in the Northwestern town of Sakaka.
