A farmer has miraculously survived after the tractor he was repairing suddenly lurched forward and ran over his body and head.
Footage showed him working on the agricultural vehicle before it suddenly moved, seemingly because it had been left in gear.
The motion caused him to lose balance and fall beneath the wheels.

The moving vehicle then apparently ran over his torso and head.
A quick-thinking bystander, believed to be a family member, rushed over and applied the brakes, halting the tractor before it could cause further harm.
The man remained trapped under the wheel for several moments before emerging alive.
The dazed farmer stood up, retrieved his lost turban, and walked away from the scene under his own power.
The accident took place in the village of Sultanpur Patti in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand last Monday (11 May).
It is believed the farmer only suffered minor injuries in the accident.
The dramatic video has since sparked safety debates across global agricultural forums regarding the dangers of starting farm machinery while standing on the ground, as reported by Need To Know.
While head and torso injuries can be fatal, the absence of high-speed impact or prolonged compression likely prevented catastrophic skull fractures or internal organ damage.
The clip has racked up hundreds of thousands of views, with users calling it one of the most improbable escapes caught on camera.
Online commentators said “this is a miracle”, “how is this even possible?”, and “he is so lucky to survive”.
