This is the moment a truck bumped a rider into a canal while making a turn on a bridge.

Dashcam footage shows the lorry approaching a curve where there was a motorbike rider before nudging the two-wheeler in Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand on December 25.

The rider then lost balance and went straight into a canal while the truck driver stopped after signals from motorists.

Onlookers quickly pulled the female rider up from the canal and helped her back to her motorbike. She had a few scratches from falling.

Motorist Kafew Tanapipat who was driving behind said: ‘The accident might have been caused by the rider because she stopped at a very dangerous area, and there was a truck who could not have seen her standing in the blind spot.’
