This is the shocking moment a toddler was injured after she ran through a sliding glass door while she was playing with her friend.

The four-year-old girl named Chura was being baby-sitted by a neigbour in Hat Yai, southern Thailand, yesterday morning when the accident happened.

She's seen on CCTV peering through the door as a little boy on the other side teasingly pulls a face at her before they start chasing each other round the house.

Chura then turns back round and dashes towards the door - forgetting that there is a pane of glass in the way.

A sudden loud smash is heard when the youngster clatters into the door and the glass shatters into dangerous shards.

Chura suffered several cuts on her legs, hands and head and was kept in overnight at the local hospital.

The family friend whose home she was staying in, Thida, said the mother understood that the injuries were an accident.

Thida said: ''I'm so relieved that Chura was not seriously hurt as the glass is very sharp and it could have been worse.

''I hope that every parent who sees the security camera video will think about how to prevent this kind of accident.''

The easiest way to prevent people from walking into clear glass doors is to use a tinted film or add decorative stickers so they realise there is a solid object there.
