A young girl has had a lucky escape after falling under the wheels of a car in Jinhua, China.

Traffic police surveillance footage captured the moment the accident happened.

Cars were waiting at a crossroads when a motorcycle approached driving clumsily between two lanes.

When the car at the right side of the motorcycle started, a little girl fell off from the motorbike.

The rear wheel of the car seems to touch the girl's head as it moves away at the lights. Miraculously, the girl escaped with only slight scrapes and bruises.

Police have blamed the motorbike driver for the accident, saying she was weaving amongst the vehicles queueing at the lights.
