An eight-year-old boy who died twice in a car accident has grown up to reveal what he saw when he 'went to heaven'.

Landon was on the way back home from church with his mum Julie and dad Andy Kemp when they were involved in a horror car crash in 1997.

The father died instantly at the scene and so did the boy - twice.

Watch below to see what Landon says he saw in heaven:

Landon died twice that day after he was resuscitated and flown to Carolinas Medical Center in North Carolina, US.

"I didn't see what he was yelling at. I didn't see the ambulance coming. But I remembered him yelling. That was the last thing I heard from him," Julie told the Christian Broadcasting Network.

"They couldn't see his body because of the damage that was done to the driver's side of the car.

"And Landon was sitting behind his dad. And when they saw Landon's shoe, it took a deeper search for his body.

"When they pulled Landon out from the back of the car, he was not breathing.

"And they all started working on him right away to bring him back. Landon was resuscitated and life-flighted to Carolinas Medical Center.

"They told me that if he lived, which did not look good, but that if he lived, that he would be like an eight-year-old baby, that he would not know how to walk or talk or to eat. I was so desperate that was ok, I would take that."

Landon miraculously survived major surgery, with no trace of brain damage.

And as the years went on, he told his mother just what he saw in heaven.

As well as seeing his father, Landon said he saw Julie's 'two other children' from miscarriages.

Julie says her son was never told about the miscarriages.

On what he witnessed in heaven, Landon said: "It was almost as if like a preview of a movie to where you only get to see certain bits and pieces of things.

"Jesus came to me and told me that I have to go back to Earth and be a good Christian and tell others about him."

The car crash survivor says he is now using his story to help others who are struggling with loss and in need of hope.

"I didn't understand in 1997 why God didn't send an angel," Julie added.

"But I know that there were angels there. And I know that we were protected. And we are living out what his plan is for us.

"Instead of staying mad at him, I was able to use the story to help others not to give up and to keep their faith on their grief journey."
