A 38-year-old man has lost his licence for a year after a black Commodore was caught at more than 130km/h in a 60 zone in Adelaide’s southern suburbs on Sunday night.
Police patrols were conducting speed detection duties on Main South Rd at Morphett Vale about 6.20pm when they caught the Holden Commodore travelling at 136km/h, more than double the speed limit.
Patrols followed the vehicle until it came to a stop on Pimpala Rd at Old Reynella.
The alleged driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, a 38-year-old man from Old Reynella, was reported for driving at extreme speed.
In addition to a loss of licence, the Commodore was impounded for 28 days.
Meanwhile, a 30-year-old man has been arrested after a police pursuit and a collision in the CBD on Monday afternoon.
Patrols spotted a black Holden Barina travelling at speed on Morphett Rd just before 3pm.
The Barina failed to stop at a red light at the intersection of Morphett Rd and Sturt St.
Police attempted to stop the car on Sir Lewis Cohen Ave but it took off at speed.
Patrols stopped following the vehicle as it headed south towards Greenhill Rd before it was seen to attempt a left hand turn on Greenhill Rd and collided with a Mitsubishi ASX.
The driver and sole occupant of the Barina allegedly ran from the scene.
