Flowers, tributes and cross at roadside memorial for Max, killed in Waterloo Corner crash

A roadside memorial for a 27-year-old man killed in a crash in Adelaide’s north on Sunday is growing at the spot he died.

A cross and flowers have been laid as part of roadside memorial to a 27-year-old driver who was killed in a horror crash at Waterloo Corner at the weekend.

The Elizabeth North man, identified as Max, died on Port Wakefield Highway early on Sunday after his car crashed into a light pole and then a tree.

Police and emergency services were called to the site around 3.45am on Sunday following reports of the collision. Max died at the scene.

“Forever 27, gone too soon. Love you forever,” read a message from Brooke, Michael and Elijah.

“The one I’ll love forever,” read another from Paige “and the boys”.

“Love you Maxy, rest in peace buddy,” said a message from Bon.

A can of Monster energy drink had also been placed amid the bouquets of flowers.

The words “RIP Max” with his birthday and date of his death had been carved in a tree at the site.

Max is the 67th person to die on South Australian roads this year.

Days later, on Tuesday morning, another young person was killed at Waterloo Corner, just a short drive from Sunday’s crash.

The 19-year-old Buckland Park woman died at the scene after her Lexus sedan collided with a concrete truck at the intersections of Port Wakefield Highway and McEvoy Road just after midnight on Tuesday.
