A suitcase rolled off the back of a moving truck into the road.

Dashcam footage shows the luggage being thrown off the cargo bed while the vehicle made a turn in Nakhon Ratchasima province, Thailand on March 24.

The object quickly drifted onto the dirt path outside the shops as it was unsecured while the driver travelled.

The driver's partner said: ‘We were going to the sea. We didn't tie it with a rope because my boyfriend who was driving said it was a short ride.'

Thailand has one of the world's worst road safety records. Ministers have set the goal of reducing fatalities from 32.7 deaths per 100,000 people to 12 per 100,000 people by the year 2027.

However, a lack of road safety education in schools, cheap loans for cars, notoriously easy driving tests, police failures to enforce road laws as well as endemic corruption and chronic under-investment in infrastructure hamper the efforts.
