Mini-Lorry Driver's Quick Action Saves Toddler on Busy Aluva Road

 A two-and-a-half-year-old child miraculously escaped danger after wandering onto a busy road through the open gate of a preschool.

The incident occurred this morning on the busy road connecting Thottumugham and Edayappuram in Aluva. The toddler ran from a private preschool named Kids Republic, located by the roadside, onto the heavily trafficked road.

A mini-lorry driver passing by noticed the child standing in the middle of the road. He immediately sounded the horn, stopped the vehicle, and rushed out to help. The people in the vehicle ensured the child's safety and contacted others for assistance.

Even during this time, the preschool management was reportedly unaware of the incident. The negligence of the private preschool's management, particularly in leaving the gate open, was cited as the reason for the dangerous situation.
