A man has been arrested after a heavy goods vehicle crashed into a property in East Kilbride.
The house on Lancaster Crescent suffered extensive damage and local residents were evacuated as a precaution.
No-one was injured in the incident, which took place at about 11.25pm on Monday.
Police Scotland confirmed a 33-year-old man had been arrested and that inquiries were ongoing.
Residents in the houses surrounding the damaged building were evacuated from their homes.
Demolition crews were at the scene on Tuesday afternoon.
One neighbour said: "I heard a crash and looked out of the window to see a huge Eddie Stobart truck driving forwards up the street and then reverse back again.
"The boys in the house were rescued from the upstairs bedrooms with ladders.
"It was terrifying. Thank goodness no-one was hurt. It could have been so much worse."
Another neighbour said that they had been asked to leave their homes until they could be checked over for structural damage and did not know when they could return.
The damaged lorry was found later in the car park of a Lidl store near East Kilbride town centre, and was removed by police on Tuesday afternoon.
