A dramatic crash on Main North Rd believed to have stemmed from a late-night online sale meet-up has been caught on dashcam, with the footage showing a silver hatchback ramming another car before slamming into a pole and fire hydrant.

The incident unfolded just before 10pm on Monday in Nailsworth, with vision showing two vehicles travelling side-by-side before the hatchback suddenly swerves and strikes the other car twice.

Moments later, the hatchback veers off the road, clips a pole and slams into a fire hydrant – sending water gushing.

The other vehicle involved fled the scene.

The crash occurred shortly after what one of the drivers has described as a failed Facebook Marketplace shoe sale at a nearby McDonald’s.

The woman behind the wheel of the hatchback told 7News she and a friend had arranged to meet a group of strangers at the fast food restaurant to sell a pair of shoes.

Her friend reportedly got into the buyers’ vehicle – described as a blue car – so they could drive to an ATM.

But the driver of the hatchback claimed things took a turn when she believed her friend was being threatened, prompting her to follow the car along Main North Rd.

Witness Bilal Elmawey, who helped the woman and her passengers after the crash, said she told him she had been trying to protect her friend.

Despite the violent collision, no serious injuries were reported.

SA Police confirmed they are investigating the incident and are appealing for anyone with footage or information to come forward.

The crash adds to a grim backdrop of road trauma in South Australia, with 29 lives lost so far this year.
