A young girl has somehow walked away with only minor injuries after stepping into the path of an oncoming car in Adelaide<\/a>'s north-east.<\/p>\n

Authorities say vision of the incident, obtained by 9News, should serve as a warning to everyone about how a moment of carelessness or inattention could have dire consequences.<\/p>\n

A mother and daughter were crossing against the lights when the "blood tingling" incident occurred.<\/p>\n

\"Dernancourt,<\/p>\n

The mother holds her daughter's hand but then the girl makes an unexpected dash for the other side and into the path of an oncoming SUV.<\/p>\n

"It was blood tingling. It was really, really just shocked me," local resident Vivien Wiese told 9News.<\/p>\n

The terrifying sight captured on Lower North East Road in Dernancourt yesterday shows the girl thrown five metres by the impact.<\/p>\n

She remained motionless for a second before being able to move, her mother ushering her to safety as witnesses rushed to help.<\/p>\n

"I think the lady in the white [car] had sort of parked, she actually took her jacket off, and then they just laid her on that, so she wasn't just laying on dirt," Wiese said.<\/p>\n

"She didn't get up then at all."<\/p>\n

Remarkably, the girl wasn't seriously injured.<\/p>\n

She was taken to the Women's and Children's Hospital in North Adelaide with minor head and arm injuries.<\/p>\n

It could have been so much worse, which authorities say is a point that shouldn't be lost on anyone.<\/p>\n

"It was quite traumatic to watch," SA Police's Sean Patton told 9News.<\/p>\n

"The driver would have had a clear vision of head and a green light, so they would have been under the assumption they were clear to proceed."<\/p>\n

Seven pedestrians have been killed on South Australian roads so far this year and 37 more seriously injured.<\/p>\n

"We don't go out onto the road expecting to be involved in a crash, so sometimes it can be waiting that 30 seconds or so for the lights go green to be the difference between life and death," RAA's Matthew Vertudaches told 9News.<\/p>\n
