A young child was
plucked from the wreckage of a violent crash after a car careered into his
pushchair, squashing him against a wall.
The toddler's mother
looked on in horror as two cars collided in Gravesend, ricocheting one of the
vehicles towards her tiny son as she walked along the pavement.
Eyewitnesses rushed over
to the scene of the smash, fearing the worst for the child.
In photographs taken
moments after the accident, the boy's father is seen cradling him while his
mother is shown looking shocked at the destroyed buggy, her hand over her
mouth.
A second child, also
being pushed by his parents in a buggy, was thrown into a nearby garden as the
dramatic crash unfolded.
People who was nearby, said he
could not believe the child had survived.
'It was a miracle,'he
said. 'If the car had come a few centimetres further the child would have died.
'I heard unhappy sounds
and rushed over and a car had crashed into a buggy and it was squeezed into a
wall.
'It was just at the
junction and one car had just smashed into another, I guess they just didn't
see the other person coming.
'The child was lifted
out by a guy - the kid seemed fine but the parents were obviously upset.'
