This is the shocking moment a pickup truck rammed a lorry causing it to flip over - with the driver emerging unhurt.

CCTV footage shows the pickup attempting to overtake, only to spin out of control and hit the lorry on its side on a road in Surat Thani, Thailand, on June 29.

The lorry skidded toward the roadside and flipped over from the impact.

Onlooker Kittisak Mukda, who was driving behind both vehicles at the time, said: 'It was raining so the road is slippery. People should be careful when driving. The drivers are okay.'

Despite being one of the wealthiest countries in Asia, Thailand suffers from chronic underinvestment in its highways and education, contributing to its poor road safety levels. Only a handful of African countries are worse.

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.
