This is the incredible moment a five-year-old boy gets up rushes to the aid of his injured granny seconds after an out-of-control car runs over his HEAD and body.
Onlookers feared both were dead after the vehicle smashed into them and crushed Joao Pedro Nascimento under its wheels.
But the youngster picked himself up with just a few cuts and bruises on his face - and ran to aid grandmother Vilma, 56, as they waited for an ambulance to arrive.
A Chevrolet struck by a speeding Honda on an unmarked crossroads smashed into a parked VW Golf which then careered into them at speed.
Both wheels run over Joao's head - but he was released the same day from hospital after tests.
His gran was allowed home the day after Tuesday's horror smash, filmed on a camera overlooking the street.
Vilma, who suffered light wounds to her legs and feet, said: "I feel as if we've been born again. It's a miracle we're still alive.
"Joao doesn't even look as if he's been run over.
"I saw how the car crushed him and he ran towards me but when I saw blood coming out of his nose and mouth I feared the worst.
"I only calmed down when they said in hospital his injuries were superficial.
"I was terrified about the idea of something bad happening to my grandson while I was in charge of him.
"The hand of God helped us and thankfully we're okay."
