Toddler lucky to be alive after falling from car and crawling into oncoming traffic

A one-year-old girl miraculously survived falling from a moving car and crawling along the road into oncoming traffic.

Terrifying video footage shows the moment the toddler bounced off the concrete after tumbling from a 4x4 in Southern India on Saturday.

In CCTV footage, the tot can be seen falling from her parents' jeep - only sustaining minor head injuries - and then crawling along the road on her hands and knees.

She fell into the dark and unlit road from the passenger side of the vehicle as it traveled through on a road in the Munnar region.
