Port Wakefield Rd has been gripped by chaos with two major crashes on the same stretch of road at Two Wells, just kilometres apart and within hours of each other on Friday morning.
The major road has been closed after the Medstar helicopter was dispatched to a major crash between a truck and car, which has left a driver fighting for life.
A second crash on Port Wakefield Rd was reported at 7am, a few kilometres north of the first crash and in the southbound lanes, near Brooks Rd, with Medstar also called to attend.
In the first crash, the driver of the car was trapped and fire crews quickly worked to remove them from their vehicle.
The car driver was flown to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the truck, a 30-year-old-man from Mallala, was uninjured and was taken to hospital for mandatory blood tests.
The second crash is believed to be between two cars.
Police advise Port Wakefield Rd is closed to all northbound traffic from Port Gawler Rd and diversions are in place via Old Port Wakefield Rd.
