The suspected driver, an unidentified man wearing a pink turban, appeared unsteady on his feet before getting into the driver’s seat.

After the vehicle failed to start, he then stood next to the van as a group of people gathered.

As a police car pulled up, the driver sauntered away past other people who told him to “run”.

The person filming the clip could be heard saying it was “the maddest accident”.
