A driver was allegedly more than three times over the legal blood alcohol limit when his car rolled at Greenwith overnight.
Just after midnight, police and paramedics were called to Target Hill Road after reports a Holden sedan had crashed and rolled, before coming to rest in the driveway of a nearby home.
The driver was left with minor abrasions and, following a breath test, returned an alleged blood alcohol reading of 0.160.
The man, a 30-year-old from Hillbank, was reported for drink driving and issued with an immediate 12-month loss of licence.
He will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
A short time later, emergency services were called to Golden Grove Road at Redwood Park after a car crashed into a fallen tree.
The driver and only occupant of the Toyota sedan, a 26-year-old St Agnes man, was in shock but not physically injured in the crash. Firefighters attended to clear the tree from the road.
Also overnight, thieves stole four trail bikes during a break-in at a Gepps Cross business.
Just before 4.40am, police were called to the Main north Road business, after the thieves arrived in three cars.
Police said they then forced the front doors and rode off with three red Honda trail bikes and a green Kawasaki trail bike.
A green Hyundai sedan, a Nissan Navara dual cab ute and a white Toyota Camry were seen leaving the premises. The Hyundai, which has the registration plates S368APK, had been stolen from a home at Golden Grove a short time earlier.
About 6.50am, police on Lefevre Terrace at North Adelaide spotted the green Kawasaki and stopped the teenage rider.
