Shocking moment mum is mowed down by her toddler who took the wheel of car after she got out to open garage door

THIS is the incredible moment a mother escapes death after being crushed by a car driven by her own toddler.

The survivor, who is not named, narrowly avoided her fate after the car forced a hole in the garage, that she falls through to safety.

Footage capturing the troubling incident shows the helpless victim getting out of her electric vehicle outside a garage in China.

The video shows the woman being forced against the garage, with her baby as a witness to her near-death experience.

The risky event took place in Bozhou, in the province of Anhui in China, on 21st October.

Her baby is the one to accidentally start the car, after her mum left it running.

When the infant starts the car, it slowly crashes into the woman, brutally trapping her.

She is caught facing away from her wailing baby.

But, in a miraculous twist, the pressure from the car creates an opening for the woman to escape to.

The garage is lifted high enough in the air by the car for the woman to duck under it and escape.

The garage door was lifted up onto the roof, meaning the woman could have possibly stood up and walked out of the garage to safety.

As the woman had already started to open the door, it was able to catch on the car and get lifted up.

If the door was not already slightly open, the woman would have likely been crushed to death.

The electric vehicle may have been the reason why she didn't hear it coming.

After the woman goes through the garage door hole, she quickly rushes to free her crying child.

The woman escaped the malicious moment with superficial injuries and is otherwise fine, according to reports.
