A young woman involved in an accident at Victor Harbor during the week died on Friday from injuries sustained in the crash.

The 18-year-old had been fighting for her life since being airlifted to the Flinders Medical Centre in a critical condition after the sedan she was driving collided head-on with a ute.

The accident happened about 1.20pm on Tuesday with emergency services called to Armstrong Rd – the Ring Road.

Both drivers were initially taken to the South Coast District Hospital before the young woman was transferred by air to the Flinders facility.

The driver of the ute, a 47-year-old Normanville woman, is in a stable condition.

The young woman’s death takes the state’s road toll to 81, compared to 101 at the same time last year.
