Citizens lifted and then pushed a car away from a 9-year-old boy who was trapped under the vehicle on Thorncliffe Park Drive this afternoon. The lad apparently ran out from in front of a parked bus and was struck by the car, which was driven by an elderly women. The images above are taken from a video recorded from a balcony and given to the CBC. A witness told the CBC “‘They put it on neutral, they lifted it up and they pushed it backwards. He was bleeding from his back. He was like crumpled up. His condition was really bad.” The boy was taken to the Hospital for Sick Children where he is in serious condition. The images show, upper left, young men straining to lift the car. Upper right, they roll it back off the boy. Lower left, helpers gather around the boy, now out from under the car.
