A 9-month-old baby narrowly escaped death under the wheels of a truck whose driver didn't notice the tot left in the grass by his careless father.

Too busy to take care of his son, a migrant worker in a brickyard in Zhengjiang, Jiangsu province, randomly placed the baby in a nearby bush while he worked.

The truck ground to a halt after the father screamed out to the driver, but not before the wheels had rolled over his little boy.

The baby suffered severe internal injuries, but thanks to doctors' tireless efforts, he was quickly discharged from hospital.
