Police have traced a driver following a road accident in Perth which left a teenage girl in hospital.
The 14-year-old is said to have been struck by a grey vehicle as she was crossing Crieff Road, near the entrance to McDiarmid Park, at about 11.50am on Monday.
She was rushed to the A&E department of Perth Royal Infirmary (PRI) and treated for a whiplash injury and bruises.
The accident sparked a police search for the driver, with Debbie Stuart, the mother of the girl, appealing for the person responsible to come forward.
On Thursday morning, Tayside Police Division posted: “We can advise that in relation to the road traffic collision on Crieff Road, Perth on Monday, August 6 involving a grey car and a 14-year-old girl, the driver of the car involved has now been traced, and relevant inquiries are continuing.
