It has not been confirmed if there were any injuries.
‘Double bang’ as van crashes in Perth
One nearby resident said: “It was just before half past then and there was an almighty noise, a really loud double bang.
“It sounded a lot like a big firework going off and very, very close.
“I looked out the stair window and could see our next-door neighbour had come out for a look.
“We both looked up the the street and saw a car stopped further up and a van in the hedge.
“At the same time, there were a number of our other neighbours from houses across the road and further down running up to see what had happened and if they could help.
“There was a large blue transit van in the hedge, and a street light ended up 20 yards further on in the hedgerow.
“There was a burning electrics smell, which must have been from the light that was wiped out, with only cables left sticking out the ground.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 10.35pm on Saturday, officers received a report of a one-vehicle crash on Glasgow Road, Perth.
“A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection and inquiries are ongoing.”
