Police Scotland said the incident happened on the Kessock Bridge in Inverness at around 6.50pm on Wednesday.
The force said they received several calls about a van driving into oncoming traffic on the wrong side of the A9 dual-carriageway and then being seen to “purposefully reverse” into a white Renault Clio.
The driver of the car was not injured.
The van is described as a white Man box van with grey side curtains.

“Our inquiries are ongoing and we would be keen to review any dashcam footage that may have captured the white van between 6.40pm and 7.15pm on Wednesday evening.”
