This is the heart-stopping moment a truck wobbles from side to side before crashing on a motorway - after the driver fell asleep.<br /><br />The vehicle was carrying a shipping container loaded with food cargo when it began drifting towards concrete road barriers.<br /><br />Dashcam footage shows how the lorry scraped against them before wobbling dangerously while veering across the road. <br /><br />It then smashed into the ground in front of shocked motorists in Bangkok, Thailand on August 10 morning. <br /><br />Onlookers rushed to help the driver, who was conscious and had only suffered minor injuries in the accident. He climbed out of the cabin still in a daze from the accident.<br /><br />The driver who recorded the crash said the trucker told them he had fallen asleep at the wheel because he had been driving long hours recently.<br /><br />He said: ''I think that if the truck had been driving faster, it could have been a worse accident and the driver could have died.<br /><br />''He was drowsy and lost control then hit the barrier. He was alright after the accident and went to the hospital to be checked.''<br /><br />The driver was questioned at the scene of the crash by police before being taken to hospital to be checked over.
