WATCH: Boy rides toy car through traffic

Heart-stopping footage from China shows a toddler riding his toy car into oncoming traffic.

The video was filmed last Thursday in China's Lishui City.  The 3-year-old boy is seen on his toy car as he rides in the middle of the road against the flow of traffic during morning rush hour.

But the little boy was very lucky.  The cars on the street wove around him, and a police officer eventually picked him up.

Chinese state media reports the toddler was returned to his mother, who was visibly distressed by the situation.
