This is the shocking moment out-of-control car crashed into an office as an employee sat at the front desk.

The black Toyota Fortuner reportedly veered off the road, avoiding another vehicle on the road outside, but hurtled towards the establishment in Phichit province, Thailand, on October 28 morning.

CCTV footage shows the vehicle slamming through the glass front wall of the office and ramming furniture before halting.

A shocked worker sitting in front of his computer stood up as the crash happened 10 ft (3 metres) away from his table, leaving him unscathed.

However, the impact broke through the wall where another employee worked on his desk. He was thrown away by the debris and buried in rubble. He was injured and rushed to the hospital.

Moments later, the driver was seen pushing the door open but did not immediately climb down while the unhurt employee cowered in the corner, seemingly unsure of what to do.

The injured employee's officemate, Jintana Insoon, said: 'We saw a black Mazda speed outside, and only seconds later, the Fortuner had crashed through our wall.

'We do not know yet who will take responsibility. We are still waiting for the police to call us.'

Police investigation into the car crash is ongoing.

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.
