An elderly driver and passenger have been killed in a car crash near Bordertown in South Australia's south-east.
The crash happened on Thursday afternoon on Naracoorte Road, in the locality of Bordertown South.
Police were called to the scene about 2:10pm after a report that a car had crashed into a tree.
"Sadly the driver, a 90-year-old man, and the passenger, an 85-year-old woman, both from Bordertown, died at the scene," police said in a statement.
Officers from SA Police's Major Crash division are investigating the circumstances of the crash.
Naracoorte Road has been closed in both directions, with diversions in place at Rowney and Stott roads.
Police have asked motorists to take alternative routes.
The deaths of the woman and the man take the number of lives lost on the state's roads this year to 67, compared to 58 at the same time last year.
