The Micra hits the boy after it was itself hit by a white car turning - causing the Nissan to skid and swerve and crush the boy in horror timing.
The driver gets out of the car and sprints to the front of her motor and check the cyclist is okay.
She then quickly gets back into the car and reverses, moving her car back from the crushed lad.
Passersby also rush to help with one being heard saying: "Oh dear, the kid is gone, she hit the kid."
But after the driver reversed, the boy was pulled out.
Miraculously, the cyclist only suffered some light bruising and was taking to hospital for a checkup.
The shock moment is recorded by the dashcam of another car which is waiting to turn into the street where the smash happens.
The horror crash took place in Korfez, in Kocaeli Province, Turkey, at around 1.30pm on July 5.
It comes after a popular influencer died in a horror smash alongside the her driver after their car smashed into lorry parked in the hard shoulder.
Gizem Ozmen, 24, known for supporting women struggling with trauma, was tragically killed alongside her driver, named as Mehmet Ensar Ozden.

According to reports, the pair were driving along in a Volkswagen when it careered into a tanker that had stopped in the emergency lane.
Police, ambulance and fire crews all rushed to the scene, but could do nothing to save the pair.
A European beauty queen was also killed earlier this year after tragically plunging from a bridge onto a motorway while fleeing from police.
Güler Erdogan, 27, was caught drunk behind the wheel in Giresun, Turkey, and fell 50ft from the bridge as she tried to flee from cops on April 1.
The "Miss Europe-Kosovo" title holder had been on a night out in her hometown to celebrate Eid with her family, and later hit a nightclub with friends.
She allegedly tried to drive home while drunk, but ran into police at a checkpoint, according to CNN Turkey.

Tiger King star jailed for trafficking and laundering after buying chimpanzees, lions, tigers, cheetahs on black market
ZOOKEEPER CAGED Tiger King star jailed for trafficking and laundering after buying chimpanzees, lions, tigers, cheetahs on black market Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TIGER King star Bhagavan "Doc" Antle has been jailed for trafficking exotic animals and money laundering. Antle, 65, was sentenced to one year and one day behind bars and fined $55,000 on Tuesday - two years after he pleaded guilty to the charges. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Bhagavan 'Doc' Antle leaves the Charleston federal courthouse onTuesday Credit: AP 4 He has been jailed for one year Credit: AP 4 He purchased lion cubs from Virginia to display in his South Carolina petting zoo Credit: AP Prosecutors said Antle sold or bought cheetahs, lions, tigers and a chimpanzee without the proper paperwork for a decade. They said he also laundered more than $500,000 so he could quickly get cash to buy more animals. Antle's sentencing was heard in a federal courtroom in Charleston, South Carolina - five years after the true crime documentary Tiger King captivated a country shut down by COVID-19. The show centred on dealers and conservationists of big cats, focusing on disputes between Joe Exotic, a collector and private zookeeper from Oklahoma, and Carole Baskin, who runs Big Cat Rescue in Florida. Exotic is serving a 21-year federal prison sentence for trying to hire two different men to kill Baskin. Antle appeared in the first season with Exotic and Baskin and was the star of the show's third season. Authorities said he laundered money used in a human smuggling scheme because he needed large amounts of cash quickly to buy animals, including chimpanzees, lions, tigers, cheetahs, and other creatures. Prosecutor Patrick Duggan said: "These animals are illegal to sell because they are endangered, and their high prices could encourage poachers to steal them from the wild. "He was knowingly and illegally trading them as part of a black market that drives another black market of poaching and smuggling." Customers would pay $200 for five minutes and photos with a baby chimp or $7,000 for a sleepover. Antle would sometimes ride into tours on an elephant. 4 Antle is currently on bond and the sentencing will take place on September 14, 2023 Credit: Instagram Antle's lawyers requested a sentence of just probation or home confinement, saying their client needed to care for the 150 exotic animals that consume 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms) of meat a day at his Myrtle Beach Safari. They said many of the animals only respond to Antle. About 25 friends and family packed a federal courtroom in Charleston. Several told Judge Joseph Dawson III that Antle was generous and caring. They said he raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight poaching and preserve wild habitats for tigers, lions and chimpanzees. Federal guidelines called for about two years in prison, to which prosecutors agreed. But Dawson said, although Antle broke federal law, all the evidence pointed to him caring for animals. Antle apologized at the end of his sentencing hearing for causing problems for his life's work. "I made a mistake, I did stupid things," Antle said, adding, "I hope I'll be able to pull it back together for everybody." Antles Myrtle Beach Safari was known for charging hundreds or thousands of dollars to let people pet and hold baby animals like lions, tigers and monkeys that were so young they were still being bottle-fed. The zoo remains open by reservation only.

Thugs, thieves and drug dealers could avoid court under radical plans to ease justice system backlog
Jury trials would be scrapped for some drug dealers and sex offenders with a judge and two magistrates presiding instead JUSTICE SHAKE-UP Thugs, thieves and drug dealers could avoid court under radical plans to ease justice system backlog Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THUGS, thieves and drug dealers could avoid going to crown court under plans to overhaul the clogged justice system. Offenders may avoid a criminal record and instead be sentenced to do unpaid work or get rehabilitation, it is proposed. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Criminals could avoid going to crown court under plans to overhaul the clogged justice system Sentences could be cut by 40 per cent, up from a third now, with an early guilty plea. Jury trials would be scrapped for some drug dealers and sex offenders with a judge and two magistrates presiding instead. They could impose sentences of up to three years' jail. The maximum penalty JPs could hand down would double to two years.

It has seen trial dates pushed back as far as 2029. Sir Brian said without the reforms there would be a 'breakdown in law and order' with 'society taking things into their own hands'. Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said 'criminals like burglars and some killers will serve just a fifth of their sentences. That makes a mockery of our justice system.' Victims' Commissioner Baroness Newlove warned higher guilty plea discounts and out-of-court disposals 'will feel like justice diluted again'.

NC500 tractor driver caught ‘high on drugs' during police crackdown on road trip route
PULL OVER NC500 tractor driver caught 'high on drugs' during police crackdown on road trip route Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TRACTOR driver was allegedly caught high on drugs during a police crackdown on the North Coast 500. Officers stopped the motorist on the Dornoch Bridge on the A9, where he was also alleged to have no licence or insurance. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Police carried out another crackdown on motorists on the NC500 road trip The tractor driver is alleged to have failed the roadside tests for drugs and alcohol. He was then arrested and his tractor was seized. It comes as police carried out another crackdown on motorists on the NC500 road trip. Officers detected 27 alleged offences – including 13 for speeding and five for careless driving – after stopping over 60 people. 'Road Policing Officers undertook a targeted road safety operation along the NC500 route over the course of the weekend. This was in response to complaints and concerns raised by local residents and serious road traffic collisions along the route,' said the force. 'During the operation over 60 road users were stopped and engaged with including cars, motorcycles, cyclists and campervans. 'Officers also stopped a male driving a tractor on the Dornoch Bridge. He was arrested and his tractor seized.' Constable Paul Whitehead of the Highlands and Islands Road Policing Unit said: 'Speeding, Carless Driving, Drink and Drug Driving, using a mobile phone and not wearing a seatbelt are the five most prevalent factors in serious and fatal road traffic collisions. "We support and encourage all road users to safely share and use our roads responsibly. Anyone falling below the safe standard should expect to be dealt with robustly in line with road safety laws.' More than 3800 people have pledged to be responsible tourists on Scotland's answer to America's Route 66 – which has been the subject of numerous complaints from locals over the years. Shocking moment speeding van driver distracted by phone slams into broken-down car leaving victim with lifelong injuries People on the NC500 are being encouraged to sign a pledge towards responsible tourism. North Coast 500 Ltd - the organisation behind the promotion of the 516 mile route - has had thousands of sign-ups for the pledge since October last year. So far, 93 per cent of people who signed the pledge took part in some sort of 'extra mile' task such as a beach clean or local charity donation. This includes: 13 per cent took part in beach cleans, 12 per cent donated to local foodbanks or local charity boxes, 91 per cent prioritised local businesses, and 83 per cent shared responsible travel tips either in person or on social media. The pledge, developed in consultation with residents and businesses along the route, invites visitors to commit to respectful and sustainable tourism during their visit, helping to address the challenges facing local communities as a result of tourism. 'Since its launch, the NC500 has become a beloved journey for travellers from across the globe, showcasing the beauty and culture of the Scottish Highlands. 2 Officers detected 27 alleged offences after stopping over 60 people "As more visitors have explored this iconic route, it became clear that mindful travel is key to lessening the impact on the environment and the lives of residents. "Preserving the natural landscapes and supporting the local communities that make the NC500 so special is vital to create a balance between tourism and sustainability,' says NC500 Ltd. 'In response, the NC500 Pledge was born—a initiative created to encourage visitors to experience the route responsibly and respectfully. The pledge represents a promise to protect the natural beauty, cultural heritage, and community spirit that define the NC500. 'Developed after consultation with residents, businesses, and visitors, the pledge reflects the core values of the Highlands: respect, stewardship, and sustainability. It's a simple but powerful promise to protect the landscape, celebrate the rich heritage, and support the people who live here. 'By taking the pledge, visitors become stewards of the NC500, helping to ensure that it remains a place where adventure and discovery can flourish, without compromising the land or the people who call it home. It's a small action with a big impact—allowing the NC500 to be enjoyed in its full beauty for years to come.' The initiative asks visitors to leave no trace by disposing of waste responsibly, parking only in dedicated parking areas during the day and overnight and to prioritise shopping in local businesses alongside a list of other positive commitments. SCOTLAND'S ROUTE 66 DESPITE its challenges, the NC500 is still one of the most popular road trips in the world. Earlier this year, the scenic route was voted the number one most searched for road trip in the UK and an astonishing fifth in the world-wide table. With its impressive 516-mile stretch of magnificent coastal views, it's not surprising it's such a popular route for travellers looking to explore. From castles to distilleries there is something for everyone to enjoy. It was also ranked as the most romantic drive in Britain after an influx of visitors took to the roads for 'staycations' in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic. An English couple told how they loved the NC500 so much that they got it tattooed on their bodies forever. While a couple who travelled the route in an Audi convertible told how it was "one of the best holidays" they've ever had. It also asks people to be mindful of wildlife, keep noise levels low and avoid lighting fires or BBQs outside of designated areas to reduce the risk of wildlfires. The pledge is supported by a dedicated digital platform to boost engagement, offering tourists educational resources to help them explore the Highlands while preserving its natural beauty. The NC500 has been subject to constant complaints over various motoring problems. One motorhome hire company previously advised its customers to avoid the NC500 after attacks on its vehicles. Two of its motorhomes had eggs and cartons of yoghurt thrown over them - and two also had tyres slashed. Residents have frequently complained about congestion and mess left behind by cars, campervans and motorhomes across the north. Tensions on the road trip escalated over the years. In 2018 police investigated a spate of incidents on the NC500 with attempts to puncture vehicles' tyres. Roofing tacks were found scattered on a road near Bettyhill. Police have regularly carried out operations on the NC500 each year, catching scores of offenders, including for speeding. The NC500 has been hailed by various top travel publications, National Geographic and American broadcaster CNN as one of the world's greatest drives and highlighted on TV shows such as Top Gear. It is estimated to be worth more than £22m a year to the local economy. However, the circular route, in and out of Inverness, has been described as both a highway to hell and a road paved with gold - boosting tourism but with complaints from residents not just of speeding motorists nut, conversely, also of slow moving convoys of motor homes and long tailbacks of bikers.
