An Post launches investigation after van filmed driving along footpath in Kildare
A viral video captured an An Post van speeding down a footpath on the approach to Kill
AN Post has begun an urgent investigation after a video emerged showing one of its delivery vans being driven along a footpath in Kill, Co Kildare.
The footage, which has gone viral across multiple social media platforms, captures the vehicle travelling at speed along the pedestrian path.
At one point, the van passes the entrance to a residential property before continuing towards a nearby estate. The recording ends shortly afterwards.
An Post said the behaviour shown in the footage falls well below the standards expected of its drivers and that the matter is being treated seriously.
The company has also confirmed that the vehicle featured in the video was withdrawn from service several months ago. Since the viral video is undated, investigators are now working to determine when the incident took place and the circumstances surrounding it.
An Post also said driver safety is a key priority and that its staff receive regular training and refresher instruction on responsible driving, securing vehicles and dealing with different road and weather conditions.
