Man loses licence after crashing into fence, cars and a house

A motorist has been arrested after he crashed into a house, fence and several cars just days after two other alleged drink drivers were nabbed after their astonishing behaviour.

A man has lost his licence after crashing into a house in Hackham West on Tuesday night.

Police were called to Glynville Drive after a resident reported they heard a crash outside their home.

A Ford SUV was discovered to have gone through the intersection of Williams Ave and Glynville Drive before going through a fence and colliding with two cars.

One of the cars allegedly hit by the driver was then pushed into the house, causing significant damage.

The occupants of the home were sleeping at the time and did not sustain any injuries.

The 38-year-old man was asked to do a breath test on scene and returned a positive alcohol with an alleged reading of 0.131.

The man, from Morphett Vale, has been reported for drink driving and has lost his licence.

He will appear in court at a later date.

This comes after a disqualified drink driver led authorities to a station wagon wanted in connection with an ongoing police probe on Sunday morning.

Around 11am, local police spotted a damaged silver Holden Commodore driving on Nicholson Ave at Whyalla Norrie.

Checks revealed the car was linked to an alleged hit-and-run crash in Whyalla Stuart on March 9.

Officers tried to stop the vehicle but did not pursue it, and the driver fled.

An hour later, Port Augusta officers found the vehicle broken down on Caroona Rd at Lincoln Gap.

He has been refused bail and will appear in the Port Augusta Magistrates Court in March.
