Three people die in three separate crashes on SA roads in one day
Three people have died in three separate crashes in the past 24 hours, with five young people left hospitalised after a horror stretch on SA roads.
Three people died in separate crashes around South Australia on Saturday.
Just after 10.30am, a Ford station wagon and a Toyota ute collided on the Riddoch Highway, near Nangwarry in the South-East.
A Nangwarry woman, 59, who was driving the Ford, died at the scene.
Her passenger, a Mount Gambier woman, 68, was taken to hospital where she later died.
The driver of the Toyota, a man, 60, and his passenger, a man, 23, both of Mingbool, were not injured.
It comes two months after a horror multi-vehicle crash near the same spot that killed two children.
Just hours later, a Subaru station wagon and a Kawasaki motorcycle collided on Main South Rd, Wattle Flat, on the Fleurieu Peninsula, about 2.50pm.
The rider, an Aldinga Beach man, 55, died at the scene. The driver of the Subaru, a Glenalta man, 53, was not injured.
About 5.20pm, a car left the road and slammed into a tree at St Kilda. One of four passengers was last night in a critical condition in hospital.
The deaths brought the state’s road toll to 89, compared to 112 at the same time last year.
