A Malaysian boy has miraculously survived after tumbling out of a moving car and being hit by two oncoming cars on Tuesday, the Malaysian media reported.

The incident took place around 5.40pm near a traffic light in Jalan Sultan Yahya Petra in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, according to the New Straits Times.

A video posted on X, formerly Twitter, showed a grey car making a U-turn at the traffic light when a boy fell out through the car’s left rear door and onto the road.

While he was still on the ground, he was hit by a white car which was also making a U-turn.

The child clambered up and started walking, but the next car struck him with much greater impact, causing him to flip backwards onto the ground.

Despite the collision, he got up again and continued walking on the busy street. A nearby motorcyclist carried him to safety.

Kelantan state police chief Zaki Harun said he believed the rear left door of the grey car had not been properly closed, online news site Free Malaysia Today reported.

The driver of the car had also failed to ensure that the child was wearing a seat belt, the police chief told a press conference at the Kelantan police headquarters on Wednesday.

“We are trying to identify the vehicle as well as the child involved, and investigations are ongoing,” he added.

Kelantan Traffic Enforcement Investigation Department chief superintendent Suhaimi Jusoh said the police have yet to receive any formal reports regarding the accident, the New Straits Times reported.

He urged witnesses to come forward with information.
