Four drivers involved in separate hit-run crashes across Adelaide over that past day are on the run and being hunted by police.
In the latest incident, a black ute hit a black Honda Accord heading southwest on the Salisbury Highway at Parafield Gardens about 9am Friday.
The driver of the ute did not stop after the crash, and kept driving southwest.
A witness saw the collision and followed the ute to Port Wakefield Rd, but the car was lost as it drove towards the city.
The Honda had significant rear damage.
Police are hunting the driver, and say the registration plates are from interstate, with ‘TIE’ on part of them.
