Toddler plays in traffic

A curious toddler has escaped death after crawling out on to a busy highway in the Turkish city of Antalya.

His mother had left him sleeping under the bushes and did not notice when her boy woke up.

A passing truck driver noticed the infant on the road and slowed traffic to alert other drivers of the danger.

When she saw her baby crawling on the highway, the distressed mother rushed to the road to pick up her son.

The toddler escaped unscathed from the incident, while police detained and questioned his mother.
