Caboolture schoolboy, five, breathing on his own after being induced into coma following freak burnout accident

A five-year-old boy in an induced coma after a freak accident is finally breathing on his own.

The young boy was shopping with his family in Caboolture, Queensland, when he was hit by a stray tyre on November 25.

The tyre allegedly became dislodged from a moving car performing a burnout at a set of lights.

The boy was knocked unconscious and paramedics were forced to use a defibrilator to revive him.

When it was successful, he was taken to Brisbane Children’s Hospital and induced into a coma.
