A man has died after being seriously injured when his motorcycle collided with a station wagon in the Adelaide Hills.

A Mount Barker man has died in hospital a week and a half after being seriously injured in a crash at Mount Crawford.

The 69-year-old man was riding a Suzuki motorcycle when he collided with a Volkswagen station wagon on Forreston Rd just before 10.30am on Saturday, December 21.

Police say the man died in hospital on Tuesday.

The driver of the Volkswagen and two passengers were treated for minor injuries. A third passenger was uninjured.

The man’s death is the 90th life lost on South Australian roads this year, and is the fourth road fatality since Saturday, when friends Robyn van den Hoogen and Aileen McKinnon were killed in a crash at Nangwarry, in the state’s South-East.

Meanwhile, 55-year-old Scott Collingridge, from Aldinga Beach, also died on Saturday afternoon in a motorcycle crash at Wattle Flat.

An 18-year-old woman was fighting for her life as of Sunday afternoon following another crash on Saturday evening.

Five young people were hospitalised, including the 19-year-old driver who was later charged, after the car he was driving crashed into a tree.

A 20-year-old woman, 19-year-old man and 23-year-old man were also in the vehicle.

It comes after a taxi driver lost his licence early Tuesday morning after crashing his car in a rollover, and then allegedly refusing to take a breath test.

Emergency services were called to Erin St, Broadview, just after 2.45am, where they found a Toyota sedan flipped on its roof.
