A driver who crashed into the side of a house and then fled is being hunted by police.
The hit-and-run happened in Balloch, near Inverness, earlier today.
The driver then fled the scene. It is not clear if they were injured, although witnesses say they saw a bloodied man running up a nearby lane.
The incident happened just after 1.45pm in Culloden Road with one neighbour saying they heard a “crunch”.
It appears the car crashed through the fence surrounding the property as well at the house and a parked car in the driveway.
Insulation can now be seen from the gaping hole in the external wall closest to the street which caused by the incident.
