CCTV footage of the driver was broadcast on Crimecall
GARDAI have appealed for assistance in locating the driver of a van which mounted a footpath in Limerick city centre – forcing at least one pedestrian to jump out of the way.
CCTV footage of the incident, which happened at O’Connell Street at around 10.30pm on October 25, 2017, was broadcast on RTÉ’s Crimecall programme on Monday night.
In the footage the dark-coloured van can be seen mounting the footpath near the Roches Street junction with one person having to jump out of the way to avoid being struck.
“The driver of the van then drives back out on to the road and causes a car to swerve out of the way,” said Garda Greg Freegrove who added that shortly after the incident, the driver abandoned the van at Lady’s Lane and walked away.
Gardai at Henry Street are investigating the incident and anyone with information is asked to contact them at (061) 212400.
