Kate Gosselin's son had a narrow escape from what would have been a fatal accident on Thursday when he crawled under her van as she sat behind the wheel.

In startling photos obtained by RadarOnline.com, the seven-year-old boy can been seen climbing beneath the family-size van, with his head ending up immediately behind the right front wheel.

"A minivan is a 3000-pound lethal weapon and having children crawling around it is not prudent," KidsAndCars.org president and founder Janette Fennell tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
