Police are hunting a hit-and-run driver who fled the scene of two crashes in Dundee.

The motorist crashed into cars on both Harefield Road and Dunholm Road on Friday night.

Police were called to the site of the latter crash in Charleston, where they closed the street and launched an investigation.

Locals said they saw several police units descending on the scene.

Car written off after Dunholm Road crash

One resident confirmed his wife’s Ford Focus was damaged during the incident.

He said: “The car is a total write-off.

“The driver bolted from the scene towards Charleston Street.

“My son ran after him.

“The airbags on his car had deployed – it shunted my wife’s car back at least three or four car lengths.

“She’s naturally livid about what’s happened but we’re thankful no one was hurt.”

‘It was like a shotgun going off’

One local woman said it sounded like a “shotgun going off” when the cars collided near her home.

She said: “There was lots of oil spilt on the road.

“Both cars were really badly damaged.

“There were kids playing outside at the time this happened.

“When the cars collided it sounded like a shotgun going off.

“The police were here for a while and closed the road off.”

The extent of damage caused on Harefield Road has not been confirmed.

Police trying to find hit-and-run crash driver

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were made aware of a car having collided with another car on Harefield Road in Dundee around 7.15pm on Friday.

“The car was then driven away from the scene before it was involved in a further collision with another vehicle on Dunholm Road a short time later.

“The vehicle was subsequently abandoned, and inquiries are ongoing to trace the driver.

“Nobody was presented as injured following the collisions.”
