This is the moment a speeding lorry crashes through a divider before slamming into a roadside tea stall, narrowly missing several bystanders.
The incident took place near Kelwa Police Station in Rajsamand, Rajasthan, India, on Wednesday, 15th October.
CCTV footage shows the large vehicle losing control as it crosses the four-lane road before it ploughs directly into the shop.
Two young men were reportedly injured in the collision and were helped at the scene by onlookers after the crash before being taken to hospital for treatment.
The driver reportedly escaped without serious injury.
Police said the lorry first struck the road divider before veering into the service lane and crashing into the tea stall with significant force.
The impact scattered goods displayed outside and damaged part of the roof.
Officers from Kelwa Police Station arrived on the scene shortly afterwards and a crane was needed to remove the HGV.
One of the injured men claimed the accident had been caused by an irregular police barricade in the road.
The authorities have impounded the lorry and launched an investigation.
