A huge hole has been left in a Carnoustie house after a crash.

A car ploughed into the property at around 8pm on Saturday.

It is understood no one was in the house at the time, but parts of the front of the property have fallen away from the building.

Sheena Colonatti, who lives across the road, says she became aware something was going on when she heard a bang on Saturday night.

Sheena said: “It didn’t seem too loud but it made the dog bark and jump.

“When I looked out a short while later there were fire engines and police cars at the house across the road.”

Mary Smith, whose house adjoins the damaged property on Norries Road, was out when it happened.

The house was taped off after incident.

Mary said: “When I got home there were police and fire engines outside.

“The lady who lives in the house wasn’t in. Her house is very badly damaged.”

Mary says her own home has since been deemed safe.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called around 7.50pm on Saturday to a report of a one car crash on Norries Road, Carnoustie.

“Officers attended and the driver, a 41-year-old man, was arrested in connection with road traffic offences. A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”

Fourth crash in a month

It is at least the fourth crash in the town in less than a month.

Derek Millar, 42, died on March 26  after his car collided with a wall on Newton Road.

Then on April 5 a blue Honda Jazz smashed through the garden wall of a home on Barry Road, opposite the Corner Hotel.

That house was also left damaged.

And last week, a woman was taken to hospital after her car flipped on its roof on Kinloch Street.
