A 15-month-old Japanese toddler who wandered onto train tracks near her home survived with minor scratches after a train came to a screeching stop directly on top of her, according to the French news agency AFP.
The driver spotted the girl standing on the tracks in Suzaka City near Tokyo and managed to stop the train with the emergency brakes.

"It could have been a tragedy. It's a miracle that she survived this way," a rescue worker told the TV Asahi network.
