Watch as speeding truck mows down ‘boy of steel’ – who miraculously springs up and walks off
THIS is the shocking moment a speeding truck mows down a young boy – who then miraculously springs to his feet and wanders off.
CCTV footage caught the horrifying incident on August 8 which shows the five-year-old youngster crossing the street in the city of Batman, in the Anatolia region of south-eastern Turkey.
The truck runs straight over the youngster without apparently even trying to stop.
But, miraculously, as the truck moves on the “boy of steel” pops out the other end and jumps straight back up on his feet.
He staggers for a few steps and then calls for help.
An adult – described by local media as the boy’s carer – runs over to him and scoops him up in his arms.

As a crowd of neighbours begins to gather, the man carries the boy away in his arms.
The footage could almost have been outtakes from the Bruce Willis movie Unbreakable, where he plays a man who cannot be injured.
Local media reported that the child survived the incident without even a scratch.
The truck driver, they add, has not yet been traced by police.
