This is the dramatic moment a car was swept off a bridge by floods caused by Typhoon Wipha.

Footage shows the vehicle being washed away by the torrent before it fell into the Nam Ngim watercourse in Phayao, northern Thailand, on July 23.

Shocked residents watched as powerful currents dragged the car toward a house, where it was lodged in a concrete fence.

Pong district chief Kriangkrai Fipakphrao said: 'Community leaders and local officials are urged to warn residents from travelling in flooded areas.'

No one was injured from the incident as the car was empty at the time.

Typhoon Wipha lashed Thailand with heavy rains and fierce winds before being downgraded into a tropical depression.

However, the Thai Meteorological Department on Monday predicted more heavy rain and high seas until July 24. It added around half of Thailand will be battered with increased rainfall due to Wipha's remnants.
