Dashcam footage shows child falling from moving car in Saudi Arabia

Dubai: A harrowing video circulating on social media has captured the moment a child fell out of a moving vehicle at an intersection in Baljurashi, a city in the southwestern Al Baha region of Saudi Arabia.

The incident was recorded by a dash camera in a nearby vehicle. The footage shows the rear door of a family vehicle swinging open as it drives through the intersection, with the child tumbling out onto the road.

The driver of the vehicle appears unaware, continuing forward as passing cars slow down to avoid the child. Miraculously, no vehicle struck the child, who was left lying motionless on the street.

According to local sources, the incident occurred several days ago. As of publication, there has been no official update regarding the child’s condition, nor confirmation of whether authorities have launched a formal investigation.

Saudi Arabia has made notable progress in traffic safety in recent years. According to official statistics, road traffic fatalities in the Kingdom have declined by 57.4 per cent over the past eight years.
