A family was walking into a Denny’s restaurant when their son stepped on a cover in the parking lot.
The cover was loose, flipped up, and the 3 year-old fell inside the eight-foot-deep hole, according to the WITI report.
The hole was actually a vat full of cold grease.
The Father quickly quickly grabbed a hold of the boy’s jacket as he was sinking.
The boy was safely removed from the grease vat and brought inside the restaurant until emergency responders arrived.
The parents stripped off the boy’s clothes and tried to clean him off.
The boy was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but other than a few minor cuts and bruises suffered during the fall, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
It is not clear if the family will take legal action.
