Since the canine was on the floor against the accelerator and nobody was at the wheel, the buggy went ahead and hit the young girl and ran over her left leg. Even though the firefighters tried to steer it away from other people, it proved to be futile as they failed to stop the cart in time.

Fortunately, the girl was unharmed as the paramedics and the ladder men immediately rushed to the scene. As they checked her out, it was found that she had no injuries and was healthy. Moreover, her mother also declined to take her to the hospital.
