Pedestrian killed and two others injured in Adelaide crash

The scene of the crash on Westmoreland Road.

A woman has died after being hit by a car in Adelaide's southern suburbs.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Westmoreland Road at Morphett Vale yesterday afternoon.

A 37-year-old Christie Downs woman died at the scene.

Two other pedestrians were injured in the crash.

They were taken to Flinders Medical Centre with minor injuries.

The driver of the car, a 79-year-old Morphett Vale man, was unhurt but was taken to the same hospital as a precaution.

He was reported today for causing death by dangerous driving.

Neighbours described the crash scene as confronting.

"I heard this bang and this scream and they just opened the passenger door and screamed — it was chaos," neighbour John Dutton said.

The woman's death was the 68th life lost on South Australia's roads this year, compared with 84 for the same time last year.
