Mother and child survive ejection from SUV during highway accident in China

A dramatic traffic accident occurred on the Nanjing Ring Expressway in China on September 30, 2026, when a driver lost control of an SUV. Dashcam footage captured the moment the vehicle swerved to avoid a plastic board lying on the road, causing it to slam into highway guardrails and spin violently across the lanes.

The crash resulted in a mother and her child being ejected through the rear window of the vehicle. Local police reported that while the father and another child in the front seats were wearing seatbelts and remained uninjured, the passengers in the back were not restrained. Both the mother and child sustained fractures to their arms as a result of the ejection. Authorities confirmed that despite the severity of the incident and the force of the impact, both ejected passengers survived the collision.
