Axe-wielding woman threatens police after crashing car at Goodwood

A woman has been taken to hospital following a car crash at Goodwood. This comes after two people narrowly escaped being hit by a car in an Adelaide Hills carpark.

A car crash at Goodwood sent an axe-wielding woman to hospital on Friday night.

Just before 11pm emergency services were called to Goodwood Rd near Rosa St after reports that a black Holden station wagon had crashed and rolled on to its side.

The driver and sole occupant, a 33-year-old woman with no fixed address, threatened police with an axe before dropping the weapon and being helped out of the car.

She was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital for treatment and a mental health assessment and returned into the custody of police.

She has been charged with driving without due car, carrying an offensive weapon and assaulting an emergency services worker.

She was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on July 24.

This comes after two shoppers narrowly escaped a horror carpark smash in the Adelaide Hills earlier this week.

Released dashcam footage shows a red car reversing out of a carpark slowly before suddenly reversing straight into a parked car, narrowly missing two shoppers who quickly jumped out the way.

The crash occurred at around 1.38pm on May 9 at the Mount Barker Shopping Centre carpark.
