Search for van driver after woman seriously injured in hit-and-run

Police are searching for the driver of a van who fled the scene of a hit-and-run in Inverness.

The black Mercedes Vito-style van was involved in a crash with a grey Volkswagen Golf on the A82 at Abriachan around 5pm on Sunday.

A 49-year-old woman who was driving the Golf was taken to hospital for serious but not life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the van stopped further up the road before leaving the scene.

Investigations are ongoing to trace the vehicle and the driver.

Road policing constable Scott Smith said: “I’d urge the driver of this black van to come forward as quickly as possible. They will be aware they’ve been involved in a collision and are likely to have damage to their vehicle.

“I’m also appealing to anyone who was on the A82 around the time and saw what happened to get in touch. If you have dash cam footage of the area please review this and bring anything significant to our attention.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 2307 of November 24, 2024.
