A driver is being treated for serious injuries in hospital after his car was found down an embankment on the A82 in the Highlands.

Police were alerted to the crash near Dunain, three miles (5km) south of Inverness, at about 06:00 on Sunday.

The 18-year-old man was the only occupant of a silver Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Police Scotland has appealed for information about a grey Mercedes A180 seen headed towards the crash site before returning to Inverness a short time later.

The injured man was described as being in a serious but stable condition in Inverness' Raigmore Hospital.

Sgt Chris Donaldson said: "I am appealing to any road users who were in the area around the time of the incident and saw either the Golf GTI or the Mercedes A180 to please contact us.

"It could prove significant as we establish the full circumstances of the crash."
