The video clips shows the boy standing and waiting by the side of the road, leaning against a railing, before slowly wandering off along the pavement towards the bus shelter.
A matter of seconds after he moves away from the railing, a car speeds into the picture and smashes into the post where the youngster had just walked.
He was also saved by the post as the BMW smashes into it and comes to a stop.
The damage to the vehicle clearly shows that if he had still been standing there, he could have been severely injured – or worse.
