A driver has ploughed through the fence of a childcare centre east of Brisbane, stopping just centimetres from the outdoor sandpit.
Emergency services were called to the scene in the Redlands suburb of Alexandra Hills just after 3pm following reports a car had driven into a fence.
A mother pulling into the car park made an error behind the wheel and smashed through the steel fencing of the Hills Montessori centre, coming to a stop near the edge of the sandpit, 9News understands.
The car drove through the fence into the backyard play area of the facility, police said. (Nine)

All of the children were accounted for and uninjured, aside from one child who sustained a scratch after falling off the play equipment.
First responders said it was “very lucky” nobody was seriously injured.
Centre owner Rebecca Grugan praised quick-thinking staff who jumped into action after the crash.
“As soon as I was told about it and knew about it, I was so thankful, it could have been so much worse,” she said.
“It’s that what if moment that you just come in and out of and I’m just so thankful everyone’s okay.”
Paramedics assessed the female driver for a head injury, but she did not require transport to hospital.
