A driver in Canada was fired after a video went viral showing him purposely swerve a company truck to splash pedestrians with puddle water.

The dashcam footage clearly shows a large Ford vehicle with a ladder and other items on top of it swerve on a road in Ottawa and intentionally drive into puddles to splash passersby. The name of the company, Black & McDonald Limited, is displayed on the side of the truck.

The company released a statement on Facebook apologizing for the driver’s actions.

“We apologize to everyone impacted by the recent incident in Ottawa of unacceptable driving by one of our van drivers. We want to reassure the public that safety is our #1 priority. This is an isolated incident and the individual is no longer employed with Black & McDonald,” the company said.

“Update on the Van Splashing Incident,” said Sgt. Mark Gatien, of the Ottawa Police Service. “I would like to thank Black & MacDonald Ottawa Div. for their quick and decisive action in this matter. The driver of this van has been terminated from the company. I would also like to thank a patrol Officer who assisted in this outcome.”
