Appeal after video emerges of young boy 'driving a lorry on the M1'

Police want to speak to an adult male accompanying a little boy who was captured on video apparently driving a lorry on the M1.

A video of the youngster has appeared on Snapchat and WhatsApp of him at the wheel of a blue cab Eastbound at Dungannon.

The man who remains off camera, asks him: “Alright there lad, are you on the bang. Lift off her, lift off her you wee rod, keep round.”

While the child is clearly identifiable the man talking to him is not.

As he is driving, the lorry is overtaken by at least two vehicles and continues on behind an other lorry at some distance, Belfast Live reports.

Mid Ulster Police said: “We are aware of a video circulating via SnapChat and WhatsApp at the moment recorded recently on the M1 Eastbound at Dungannon.

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

“If you have seen the video and recognise the young male or the adult voice, please call us on 101 or drop us a PM on Facebook.”
