A devastating accident in Pattaya, Thailand, left bystanders in shock when a six-wheeler truck collided with a motorcycle, fatally running over a heavily pregnant woman and causing her baby to be expelled from her body on impact.
According to Khaosod, the tragedy unfolded on Monday (3 March) at around 4pm.
Eyewitnesses say the truck suddenly began veering into the family of four on the motorcycle as the two vehicles were making their way down the road.
The 30-year-old father, who was driving the motorcycle, lost control as the truck sideswiped them, throwing all four passengers onto the road.
In a horrifying twist, the truck ran over the pregnant mother, killing her instantly.
The force of the impact ejected her baby, which landed approximately one meter away from her lifeless body.
