Dragging along a semi-detached front bumper, performing burnouts, and crashing into other cars, a Smithfield woman has been arrested and is facing a slew of traffic offences in Adelaide’s northern suburbs.

In witness footage shared with 7NEWS, the 33-year-old Smithfield woman was seen driving erratically on Peachey Rd between Davoren Park and Smithfield before crashing the black Holden Caprice into the kerb.

Bursting a tyre, the woman attempted to leave the scene on foot but was swiftly stopped and arrested by police who had been called by bystanders.

Police are investigating the incident and are asking anyone who witnessed the vehicle driving in the Munno Para area on Tuesday afternoon or has any dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au

The dangerous driving comes just days after South Australian police made an “urgent call” for safer road behaviours.

South Australia’s road toll increased to 18 on Monday after a Victorian woman was killed in a Penola crash.
