This is the shocking moment an allegedly intoxicated truck driver crashed into a toll booth in India.

Dramatic CCTV footage shows the speeding lorry ramming into a kiosk and damaging the steel bars as staff scrambled to safety.
Other workers were seen rushing to the area to help their co-worker.

One cabin was destroyed, and a worker from the booth was reportedly injured. A nearby car was also damaged during the crash on April 19.

Police who arrived at the scene reportedly found that he driver was drunk.

Officers are investigating the crash at the Komalla Toll Plaza on the Hyderabad-Warangal Highway at Raghunathpally, Jangaon District, Telangana.

In another incident, a lorry slammed into a toll booth, tragically killing a driver in Vijayanagara District, Karnataka, on February 5.

The speeding truck recklessly crashed into a pay station before striking a white Bolero jeep.

Authorities confirmed that the driver of the Bolero was killed in the impact, while four others, including toll booth staff, sustained serious injuries.

India has one of the highest rates of road accidents in the world, with thousands of fatalities and injuries reported each year.

The poor track record is blamed on unsafe road conditions, reckless driving, inadequate enforcement of traffic laws, and a lack of awareness about road safety.
