‘Class act’: Delivery driver’s outrageous act caught on camera
- Replies 5
In an age where home deliveries have become the norm, we trust that our parcels and packages will be handled with care and that delivery drivers will act responsibly.
However, a recent incident has left Aussies in disbelief.
A delivery driver's shocking behaviour was captured on camera, raising questions about the accountability and professionalism of couriers.
The incident occurred at around 9:53 am on Monday on O’Gorman Street in Albion Park, Sydney, where a routine delivery took a turn for the worse.
The driver parked his van behind a Tesla, exited the vehicle, and crossed the road to deliver a parcel.
However, in a moment of distraction, the driver stopped to stretch, and that's when the unexpected happened.
The van began to roll backward, gaining momentum before it collided with the parked Tesla.
The sound of the impact was enough to catch the driver’s attention, making him sprint back to his van.
In a state of panic, the driver hopped into the van, reversed, and left the scene without delivering the parcel or even leaving a note on the damaged Tesla.
The owner of the Tesla, upset by the hit-and-run, described the incident as a 'dodged car offence'.
‘I actually chuckled after I first saw it because I knew it would all be on video,’ the owner said, with amusement quickly turning to frustration.
‘But I’m pretty annoyed I’ve had to run around and sort it all out and talk to cops and get quotes from insurance and the whole lot.’
To search for the driver responsible for the damage, the video was shared on a community social media page, where locals expressed their shock and dismay at the driver's irresponsible actions.
'Well, this is juicy,' one comment read.
‘He just took off,' another comment said, highlighting the community's collective disbelief.
Despite the footage, it’s unclear which delivery company the driver was working for.
However, the incident has sparked conversations about the expectations we place on courier services, and the measures in place to ensure drivers are held accountable for their actions.
