Eventually, the woman can be seen walking to a nearby service station.
She was later taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The station wagon driver is described as having a medium build and was wearing a high visibility shirt.

Investigators could be seen collecting evidence from the bus stop.
