What started as an ordinary Saturday night in Manila turned into a terrifying scene along Roxas Boulevard when a child suddenly fell off a moving vehicle around 9:30 PM.

Dashcam footage captured the chilling moment as cars behind the vehicle screeched to a halt, narrowly avoiding a tragedy. Witnesses say the child tumbled onto the road with no warning, leaving onlookers in shock.

The video quickly spread online, sparking outrage and debate about child safety in vehicles. Many are questioning how a child could fall out so easily—was it due to negligence, lack of proper safety restraints, or a tragic accident that could happen to anyone?

Netizens flooded social media with emotional reactions:

  • “This could have ended so much worse. Thank God cars stopped in time.”
  • “Parents, please always double-check if your children are secure.”
  • “This is heartbreaking. That child is traumatized for life.”

Authorities are now investigating the incident to determine who should be held responsible. Meanwhile, experts are once again urging parents and guardians to never take shortcuts when it comes to child safety in vehicles—seatbelts, car seats, and proper supervision can mean the difference between life and death.

A child fell off a moving vehicle along Roxas Boulevard at 9:30 PM on Saturday. The motorist behind captured the incident through a dashcam and shared the video to raise awareness. In the video, the child was seen crying in pain after she fell and stumbled on the pavement. “Awareness po ito para sa mga parents, especially kapag po nasa byahe. Double check po sana ng lahat ‘yung door lock, and make sure na hindi mabubuksan ng mga bata,” the concern citizen told The STAR. “’Wag din po sana sisihin ang bata o pagalitan if may ganitong aksidente, since responsibility po ng parents to double check everything before bumyahe,” they added.
