A dashboard video showing a toddler rolling out the back of a van is capturing a lot of attention here in China.

In the video, the child pops out the back of the van and on to the street while driving in the city of Suzhou.

The driver of the vehicle, who doesn't appear to notice, then drives off after the traffic light ahead of him turns green.

The child was later picked up by the driver behind, whose dashboard camera caught the incident, and later returned safely to the child's grandfather, who was driving the van.

"I was waiting at the red light. After passing through the intersection a car began chasing after me and kept sounding the horn. The driver told me a kid fell out of my van. I looked back, parked my van on the side, and went back to search for my grandson."

It's not clear if authorities are considering charges in the incident.
