A dash cam captured the moment that a child ran across a road and suffered the consequences of not looking both ways.

The clip shows a 10-year-old Taiwanese schoolgirl running across the road toward her mother, who was on the other side. She successfully crossed one lane of traffic but was struck by a car approaching from the opposite direction.

Luckily, the girl suffered only a few scratches as most of the impact was apparently absorbed by her school bags. The footage was posted on Facebook by Taiwan's Changhua County police as a reminder for parents to be more mindful of their children when crossing the street.

The police suggest parents park their cars on the same side as the schools or after-school learning centers when picking up their children, so that the little ones won't have to cross the road.
