Arlene Foster condemns videos of children driving lorries

By Q Radio News

The First Minister has condemned a second social media video appearing to show a young girl driving a lorry on the M1 motorway.

It comes after a similar video emerged last week of a boy driving a lorry.

This led to the police arresting a 37 year old man  on suspicion of aiding and abetting driving while disqualified by reason of age, and on suspicion of cruelty to children.

The man, who was arrested in Cookstown, was later bailed.

In her tweet this morning, Arlene Foster called incidents which happened in her Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency "reckless"

Both these crazy videos have been in my constituency. This is reckless for the people in the HGVs & other road users. A vehicle like this veering out of control into traffic is unthinkable.

Please help @PSNIFermOmagh @PSNIMidUlster identify these people & make our roads safer. https://t.co/2OBlVRo6ci

In response to the new footage that appeared today, a PSNI spokesperson said“We are aware of footage which has been shared on social media and are making enquiries.”
