Child filmed driving lorry on M1 near Dungannon

A video which shows a child driving a lorry – believed to be on the M1 near Dungannon – has been circulated on social media.

In an online appeal – which has since been removed from the PSNI Mid Ulster Twitter account – the police urged anyone with information on the identity of the adult heard speaking in the video to come forward.

“The video appears to show a young male, clearly under the age of gaining a valid driving licence, driving a lorry while in the presence of an adult who is off camera,” said the police spokesperson.
