Shocking moment a one-year-old toddler is thrown from a vehicle before hitting the ground

This is the nail-biting moment a toddler is thrown out of a car on a busy crossroad in central China's Henan Province.
CCTV footage shows a young child falling in the middle of the road after a red car passes by in front of the camera.
An on-duty policeman stopped the cars on the road, picked up the child and handed him back to his father.
The incident took place in Zhumadian City at around 5pm on May 18.
According to a post on Zhumadian police bureau's social media account, a man was driving in a red car with his one-year-old son and his father, who were sitting at the back of the car.
The footage captured the moment the baby boy falls to the floor when the car turns left.
The father stopped his car as he noticed the right rear door was open.
Nie Fei, an on-duty policeman, noticed and blew the whistle to warn other cars not to maneuver.
'It was lucky that the cars stopped coming forward, I couldn't imagine what could have happened otherwise,' said Nie, as quoted in the post.
Nie also told Tianzhong Evening Post that he noticed the right rear door of the red car was not closed properly.
It opened when the car was turning left, causing the toddler boy to drop to the ground.
He believed that the father did not put on a safety belt for his son.
It was reported that Nie handed over the children to his father and suggested that he take the toddler for a check-up.
