A woman has died in Adelaide's south after she crashed into a tree on Sunday night.
The incident occurred at the intersection of Upper Penneys Hill and Piggott Range roads in Onkaparinga Hills just after 11pm.
A 56-year-old local woman, who was the driver and sole occupant of the car, died at the scene.
The road was closed overnight while Major Crash investigators examined the scene, but it has since been reopened.
This was the second fatal crash on Sunday, coming about five hours after a 23-year-old man was killed when he crashed into a tree on Fairbanks Rd in Glenburnie.
The road toll is now 49 compared to 30 at this time last year.
Meanwhile, an 82-year-old Goolwa man is fighting for life in the Flinders Medical Centre after, also, crashing into a tree on Milang Rd in Finniss just before 4pm on Sunday.

Cats await AFL call on latest Ablett hit
Geelong have been debating for a few weeks when to give Gary Ablett a rest, but AFL match review officer Michael Christian might just take the decision out of their hands.
Ablett's right-arm jab to the jaw of Gold Coast's Anthony Miles has been dissected at length since the two-time Brownlow Medal winner's rush of blood in the Cats' win at Metricon Stadium.
It continued an out-of-character run for the 35-year-old after he escaped suspension for much-debated high hits on Essendon's Dylan Shiel and North Melbourne's Sam Wright.

Traditional owners fight Adani agreement
A group of traditional owners opposed to Adani's Queensland coal mine on their land will again try to convince a court their indigenous land use agreement with the mining giant is invalid.
The Federal Court in Brisbane last year rejected the Wangan and Jagalingou people's objections over the agreement, which largely centred around whether details about the extinguishment of native title were specific enough.
Lawyers for the group will appeal that decision today, just days after Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk set a mid-June deadline for the completion of two outstanding state approvals for the controversial mine in the Galilee Basin.

Historic day for new indigenous minister
It's down to business for Ken Wyatt who says his appointment as indigenous Australians minister is a chance to ensure "the greatness of our many nations" is reflected in wider Australia.
The West Australian MP was the first indigenous man to become a federal government minister when he took on aged care in January 2017 and Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced his historic new role in Canberra yesterday.
Mr Morrison says Mr Wyatt will be supported by a new National Indigenous Australians Agency, attached to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
