Video: Car rams into child inside Saudi shop

A car stormed into a supermarket in Saudi Arabia and rammed into a little boy as he was just going out after shopping with his mother.

A brief YouTube film published by 'Ajel' newspaper showed the driver had apparently lost control of his vehicle as it roared into the shop in the Northwestern town of hail and smashed glass and shelves.

The film showed the boy was the only victim as he has just reached the door when the car smashed into the supermarket.

'Ajel' said the film went viral on social media in the Gulf Kingdom and quoted those who posted it as saying the boy had survived and was recovering in hospital while his mother suffered light injuries.
