Video has emerged of a toddler being tossed from an SUV after the vehicle lost control on icy roads and slammed into an oncoming 18-wheeler truck.

After the collision, another truck narrowly avoided the toddler laying in the road. The driver was able to exit the vehicle and snatch the child from danger.

RYOT NOTE: This video is amazing. We’re so happy this kid survived. Drivers must be more careful — especially on icy roads. One little swerve could lead to disaster. And even when the roads aren’t slick, we need to be more careful. Distracted driving is one of the biggest problems in our society today. Project Yellow Light has an amazing scholarship program that requires applicants to raise awareness for the issue of distracted driving.
