       We previously told how police officers were investigating the crash which happened around 11.25pm.

       The wrecked property was surrounded by fencing and a digger moved in to demolish the rest of the badly damaged property.

       Cops arrested a 33-year-old man yesterday and the police have since confirmed the man has been charged.

       The man is expected to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court tomorrow.

       Nobody was injured in the alleged smash, but pictures taken afterwards showed the extent of the devastating damage - with bricks and debris strewn across the driveway.

       Nearby residents were temporarily evacuated to a hotel from their homes as police cordoned off the house and launched an investigation.
