This is the terrifying moment a van driver narrowly avoids ploughing into a toddler - after the tot steered his tricycle into the middle of a busy road.

Steven Ashby, 39, was on his way to work when he was forced to swerve out of the path of the young child.

He managed to avoid the little boy, who was pulled back to safety by an adult who had been walking a little way behind him.

Steven, a carpenter, said: "I saw this coming further back up the road as I have a child about the same age and I know how unpredictable they can be.

"I slowed down as I approached him but it still shocked me as he came out into the road.
