A young mum was deliberately hit by a car in an attempted murder in Scotland, police believe.
Courtney Stewart was struck on Friday evening in Shotts, Lanarkshire, and is recovering in hospital.
In series of social media posts she described the alleged attempt on her life as "serious" and said she was in "agony".
The 21-year-old's car was hit by a Skoda Octavia, the Daily Record reports .
Police say they are treating the car smash as attempted murder.
Charity worker Ms Stewart took to social media yesterday to tell friends and family she was recovering.
In a series of posts from her hospital bed, the young mum said: “I cannot keep up with mails and texts but just to let everyone know that I am stable at the moment.
“I didn’t think I’d spend my Friday in Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
“Such a serious incident and horrible night.
“But I am in the best place for my injuries and pain. I am in agony but really want home for recovery and to see my wee girl.
“Thanks to all my friends and family for the support but hopefully I’ll be on the mend soon.”
Detective Sergeant Jim Williamson said officers were following a positive line of enquiry.
He added: “Shortly before this incident the Skoda Octavia was involved in a road crash was a blue Fiat Punto on Calderhead Road in Shotts.
“The female driver of the Fiat Punto was uninjured, however, I am keen to trace a woman who was driving a white Vauxhall, who stopped to assist the Punto driver.”
Local councillor Tommy Cochrane said: “This attempted murder is another tragedy and my thoughts are with the young woman as she recovers.
“Shotts isn’t a bad place.
“There have been specific circumstances surrounding the recent murders and this latest incident shouldn’t see people thinking Shotts is an unsafe town.”
