CCTV footage has recently emerged from China of a group of people lifting an SUV to rescue two children that got run over and trapped underneath the car.

In the footage, captured in Sichuan Province in September, nearly 20 bystanders can be seen quickly gathering around the car after the children were hit.

A passing driver then offers to take them to hospital.

According to news reports, the nine-year-old girl and nine-month-old baby were hospitalised and survived the accident.
