Police Are Responding To Fatal Crash In Far North

A man has died following a crash in the state's far-north this morning.

Just before 9am Sunday 24 August, police and emergency services were called to Kempe Road, about 21km's southwest of Oodnadatta, after reports of a single vehicle rollover.

Tragically the driver of the Toyota 4WD, an 18-year-old man from New South Wales, died at the scene.

His passenger, a 20-year-old man from Coober Pedy, was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Major Crash officers flew to the scene from Adelaide to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash.

A minor detour was in place on Kempe Road between Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta for most of the day but normal traffic conditions resumed just before 7pm.

The man's death is the 55th life lost on SA roads this year.
