This is the dramatic moment a truck overturned and spilled dozens of beer crates at an intersection in Thailand.
The truck was turning at a junction but toppled over when its cargo box tilted to the side at a junction in Ayutthaya's Phachi district on July 12.
Hundreds of beer bottles spilled across the road, dousing the pavement with alcohol.
Local media reported there were no injuries or casualties.
Volunteers later arrived to clean up the scattered glass shards in the area.
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.
However, a lack of road safety education in schools along with notoriously easy driving tests, police failures to enforce road laws, and chronic under-investment in infrastructure, all appear to hamper the efforts.
