This is the shocking moment a truck overturned into a roadside CCTV pole in Thailand.

The truck was driving at high speed when it swerved to avoid a sedan at an intersection in Ayutthaya, on May 12.

Video shows the truck veering out of control before flipping over. It left black skid marks on the bend and smashed into a post.

Police arrived at the scene and assisted the truck driver, who was found with minor injuries.

The driver reportedly claimed he was startled upon seeing the sedan approach the junction.

He said: 'I tried to brake but the truck kept moving because it was heavy with ice.'

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.
