Teen injured in violent road-rage attack on Adelaide’s North-South Motorway

A teenage learner driver has been hospitalised after a terrifying road rage attack on a major road.

A learner driver was tailgated and hospitalised with injuries after allegedly being hit over the head in a violent road-rage incident on the North-South Motorway.

Two men in a Toyota Hiace tailgated the 19-year-old man from the Curtis Road intersection of the Northern Expressway, at Munno Para West – and then followed him and his two passengers south on the Expressway and then to the Motorway.

Both cars stopped near the Bolivar exit of the Motorway and the men in the Hiace – a 23-year-old man and 49-year-old man from Mitchell Park – allegedly assaulted the learner driver and his passengers.

The young driver had to be taken to hospital with head injuries, though his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

His passengers, a man and woman, were treated at the scene.

The Mitchell Park men were arrested and charged with affray and three counts of aggravated assault.

They will face court in June.

Last December, dashcam footage captured a shocking road-rage fight between two men in the middle of oncoming traffic on Fullarton Road.

The incident was seemingly sparked as they drove down the road, the two men gesturing at each other through their open windows.

They veer their cars at each other before one sharply changes lanes to the right, and the other car quickly follows.

The two men then get out at the Greenhill Road intersection and begin to fight in front of oncoming traffic, seemingly oblivious to cars passing and holding up traffic.
