Child flies out onto asphalt after car door swings open
Child flies out onto asphalt after car door swings open
2026-07-23
Road users in Chiayi were horrified after a child flew out of a car and onto the middle of the road on Wednesday afternoon. The kid was in the back passenger seat of a car that was making a turn at an intersection. As the car turned right, the inertia of the curve swung the gate open, and sent the kid falling out to roll on the asphalt. It’s thought the kid wasn’t properly secured to the seat, and that the child safety lock was not activated.
Everything appears as normal initially, but once the black car turns right, the back left door swings open, and a child falls out, straight onto the asphalt. Even in slo-mo it looks awfully painful. The car immediately hits the brakes after noticing the young passenger rolling out of the vehicle.
The kid’s parents get off the car and bring the kid back onboard. Fortunately, traffic wasn’t too heavy, or it could’ve been a tragedy.
- I’d freak out. Raising kids is not easy.
The incident happened at 5 on Wednesday afternoon near a preschool, on Chuiyang Road in Chiayi. Other motorists were left staring in shock. Perhaps the door wasn’t closed properly, or the parents didn’t activate the child safety lock. Whatever the reason, the kid ended up flying out of the vehicle on a road that’s usually packed with cars and buses. That was a close one.
- If the kid had gotten run over… it would be the end.
Lu Jung-chi
Police officer
Children under 12 not sitting in child safety seats, or who are not wearing seatbelts can cause the driver to face fines of between NT$1,500 and NT$3,000.
Carelessness comes at a price. And even then, most cars have child safety locks.
Chen Shan-shan
FTV reporter
If you have kids and worry that they might open the car door, you can just press the child safety lock to prevent any fly-outs.
Mr. Yang
Car technician
These locks that open from the outside are a must.
These safety locks can usually be found in the back doors. Once they are activated, the doors can only be opened from the outside. That way, even if kids accidentally open the handle, they will stay safe inside the car. The incident in Chiayi ended with a child on the floor in the middle of the road. But fortunately it was nothing worse than a scare.

驚險! 轎車疑車門沒關好行駛途中 小孩掉出來跌馬路
2026-07-23
嘉義市垂楊路，出現驚險一幕，有車輛轉彎後，竟然從左後車門，掉出一位小朋友，跌坐馬路，讓其他用路人簡直看傻眼，直呼太危險、太離譜，還好後面沒有車輛緊跟而來，否則孩子恐怕已經被輾過去。
民眾騎車上路，結果看到一輛黑色轎車路口右轉後，竟然從後座左邊，掉出一位小朋友。放慢速度，再看一次，真的沒看錯，駕駛轉彎後緊急剎車，因為孩子從左後車門，掉出車外了。
家長也趕緊下車，把孩子抱回車內，還好後方沒有車輛緊接而來，否則孩子恐怕就遭輾過。
-我們會嚇到啊(很危險)，要養一個小孩不簡單
事情是發生在嘉義垂楊路段，一間幼兒園附近，22號下午5點多，用路人經過看到這幕，真的嚇傻，可能車門沒關好，或是家長沒有啟動安全鎖，結果孩子一個轉彎直接掉出車外，這邊車流量不小，還有很多公車經過，實在替小朋友捏把冷汗。
-如果被輾過去的話，應該就性命不保
[[第二分局第五組組長 盧榮吉]]
“(駕駛載未滿12歲兒童)未依規定安置於安全座椅，或乘坐於後座並使用安全帶，可處駕駛人新台幣1500元以上，3000元以下罰鍰。”
粗心家長，得收違規罰單，而其實汽車通常都有這裝置。
[[民視記者 陳珊珊]]
“如果車上有載小朋友，有些家長會擔心小孩自己打開車門，因此都會先按下兒童安全鎖，來防止小孩自己開車門，發生危險。”
[[汽車技師 楊先生]]
“一定要有這種由外開的安全鎖。”
安裝在後門側面的兒童安全鎖，鎖上之後，從裡面就開不了車門，只能從外面打開，防止車內小孩，在車輛行進中誤開門，發生意外。這回小朋友整個人直接從後座，跌出車門外，畫面怵目驚心，還好沒被撞上，否則後果，不堪設想。
