He was snoozing on a table left in the back of the 32-year-old’s vehicle completely unnoticed.

Until Jacob looked back before joining the highway.
In a clip, which has racked up 2.2 million views and over 110,000 likes, he reveals the heart stopping incident.
“When I looked back and saw the top of his little head, I was shocked for a second,” Jacob, who works in medical device sales, told What’s The Jam.
“Then started cracking up because he was asleep
“He woke up confused to a moving truck.”
In the video, Jacob prefaces that they hadn’t yet left their neighbourhood when he made the worrying discovery.
He shouts for his son, who groggily wakes up and faces the camera.
The little boy simply asks: ‘What?’, totally unfazed.
Users have flocked to the comments to share their reactions.
Ivy said: “He’s so confused! Like what’s the problem dad.”
Emily wrote: “I love the ‘WHAT?’”
Someone else added: “I love that he had the nerve to be irritated.”
Jackie said: “Ooohhhh I know a second born when I see one!!”
Another person wrote: “I mean…. At least he was holding on.”
Tiffany added: “That’s Tyler’s favorite table. He clearly wants you to keep it.”
Jacob, from Kentucky, US, added: “It was a project day at home on a Saturday and I was loading up a bunch of junk in my truck to take to Goodwill.
“I went back inside to eat after I loaded it all up, then realised Goodwill was about to close.
“So I jumped in my truck and pulled out of the neighbourhood to try to beat the clock.
“He climbed up and fell asleep in the sun.
“So glad I finally looked back before I jumped on the highway.”
Tyler’s stint at viral fame isn’t a first for the toddler.
He became hugely popular last year after hitting golf balls perfectly – and was featured on ESPN for his skill.
