| CCTV footage shows a four-year-old Turkish boy being hit by a car and then walking away unscathed. The car hits Muhammet Dirlik and knocks him down a flight of steps. He then picked himself up and walked away. The car then crashes through a shop window at the bottom of the stairs. The boy said he had been wandering around on the pavement when the car crashed into him, but he had not been hurt. The boy's father, Ibrahim Halil Dirlik, said the family had not realised until the next day that Muhammet had actually been hit by the car. He said he thought his son was crying because he had been upset at witnessing the accident. The car's driver reportedly said he swerved to avoid running over a puppy and lost control of the car. The accident happened in the town of Sanliurfa in the south east of the country. http://news.uk.msn.com/world/article.aspx?cp-documentid=148152495 |

| Thanks be that he is o.k. There was another incident recently of Turkish man shown surviving an amazing accident when he was caught between 2 large vehicles colliding. Must be the "blue eye" protecting them, or something! |
