THESE pictures show the terrifying scene after a lorry was driven into a house in the middle of the night. 

A family is understood to have been forced to flee the Lancaster Crescent property when the vehicle crashed into the front of the building.

No one was hurt in the incident but children are understood to have been among those evacuated from the East Kilbride street at around 11pm yesterday. 

A Stobart lorry with remains of the brickwork on its roof was found abandoned and surrounded by police tape this morning in a nearby car park.

The building was substantially damaged during the incident with the front windows of the property collapsing. With cracks appearing all over the house, its brickwork was also crumbling at both the front and the back.
