This is the dramatic moment an out-of-control pickup truck crashed through a shop's kitchen and narrowly missed a cook.

CCTV footage shows the vehicle slamming open the gates, which was only two steps away from the worker carrying vegetables in Rayong, Thailand, on July 23, 2023.

The driver emerged from the wrecked car shaken but unscathed as he was wearing a seatbelt. He agreed to pay for the cost of repairing the shop.

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, along with notoriously easy driving tests, police failures to enforce road laws, and chronic under-investment in infrastructure, all appear to hamper the efforts.
