An out-of-control car was caught on surveillance camera as it hopped a curb, hit a tree and ran over a 4-year-old boy who was walking on the sidewalk in his Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood.

According to WABC, the child survived the Monday-afternoon crash with only a few bruises and escaped more serious injury. Neighbors who saw the accident worked to grab the boy, who was wedged between the car's tires, from underneath the car.
