- Incident occurred a few days ago in village of Kopyshche near Minsk, Belarus
This is the heart-stopping moment a mother runs over her five-year-old son as she pulls away while he is getting into the car.
The incident happened a few days ago in the village of Kopyshche near Minsk, Belarus, and CCTV captured the shocking moment.
In the video, the boy is standing next to the rear passenger door of a red Hyundai car, but while he is trying to get into the car, his mother drives off, dragging the five-year-old with her.
The boy got knocked to the ground and run over by the car’s rear wheel.
Once his mother noticed him lying on the floor, she rushed out of the car, but forgot to put the brakes on.
The vehicle eventually came to a stop after hitting the wall of an apartment block, while the woman’s other child was reportedly still sitting in the passenger seat.
