A motorcycle rider crashed into a pickup truck in Thailand, apparently because he was using his phone.<br /><br />The young man was riding along a nearly empty road but gradually veered to the left, before smashing into the back of a parked pickup truck.<br /><br />As the youngster fell onto the floor, a smartphone bounced along the road in front of him, apparently dropped from his hands.<br /><br />Motorist Nanthasak Noppha captured the incident with his vehicle's dashcam, in Chachoengsao, Thailand, on 29 November.<br /><br />Nanthasak said that the rider was lucky that he wasn't hit by his own vehicle after falling into the road.<br /><br />He believes the boy was distracted by his phone while riding the bike.<br /><br />Nanthasak said: "It was fortunate for him that I could take quick action and avoid running over him. I almost crashed myself. The boy picked himself up and was not seriously hurt. He didn't say why he crashed but he definitely was not paying attention to the road and I think he was looking at his mobile phone.''
