Five-year-old Joao Pedro Nascimento has a guardian angel sitting on his shoulder. That’s what would explain his being alive after an out of control car ran over his head and body.
The heart-stopping footage captured on a CCTV camera shows a parked Volkswagen Golf crash into Joao and his grandmother Vilm, 56, after it was hit at a high speed by another vehicle.
The incident took place when they were returning home from Joao’s school in Goias, Brazil, on Tuesday.
The footage shows Joao getting up and checking on his grandmother seconds after the incident. Onlookers feared that both Joao and his grandmother might have died after the horrific crash. The boy’s grandmother later said it was a “miracle they survived”.
“I feel as if we’ve been born again. Joao doesn’t even look as if he’s been run over. I saw how the car crushed him and he ran towards me but when I saw blood coming out of his nose and mouth I feared the worst. I only calmed down when they said in hospital his injuries were superficial. The hand of God helped us and thankfully we’re okay,” she told Brazil’s Globo Network
Apart from minor cuts and bruises despite being run over by the car. He was discharged from the hospital after first aid and his grandmother was discharged the next day.
