A five-year-old child sustained severe injuries after being run over by a car while playing in a society in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad.

The woman driver fled the spot after the incident which occurred in the SG Grand Society, located in the Rajendra Nagar Extension of Ghaziabad, on February 24 at around 4.30 pm.

The entire incident, which was caught on CCTV installed in the society, showed a white-coloured Honda City car entering society and running over the child, who was playing inside the campus with other kids.

The vehicle’s front wheel ran over the child’s body. Despite sustaining severe injuries, the child miraculously survived.

The footage showed that the driver, identified as Sandhya, stopped her car briefly and came out to check on the child. However, she fled the spot the next moment.

After the incident, the child’s father filed a complaint at the Nandgram police station. The child suffered serious injuries, including a fractured right thigh bone, along with multiple wounds on his right hand, left leg, and back, reported India Today.

Currently, the minor is receiving treatment at the Atlanta Hospital in Vasundhara.
