Two men have appeared in court after a pedestrian was knocked down on a bridge.

A 36-year-old man was seriously injured in the collision on the A82 on Friars Bridge in Inverness.

He was taken to Raigmore Hospital in the city with serious injuries after the incident in the early hours of Sunday.

Two men were arrested and have appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court in relation to the incident.

Andre Sinzieanu, of Inverness, was charged with several road traffic offences including causing serious injury by driving while disqualified.

The 25-year-old is also accused of dangerous driving, drink-driving, driving without a licence or insurance and of failing to stop after an accident.

Dorian Savu, 21, also of Inverness, appeared in private on petition alleging he attempted to pervert the course of justice - a charge Sinzieanu also faced.

Both men did not enter a plea to the allegations and their cases were continued for further examination.

The pair were remanded after their appearance on Monday and are expected to appear in court again next week.
