A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl was injured on Sunday after a wave smashed the window of the car she was travelling in at Scarborough.

North Yorkshire Police tweeted: "Stay away from the sea! A wave caused damage to this vehicle and an injury to the 3 y/o child! Thanks to @YorksAmbulance & @RNLIScarborough".
