Following further investigations by Port Augusta police, the death of a woman in a crash at Port Augusta last month will be added to the lives lost on South Australian roads.
Just after 1.30pm on Sunday 12 October, police were called to a shopping centre carpark off of Jervois Street after a pedestrian was struck by a Mazda sedan.
A 58-year-old Port Augusta woman was rushed to hospital but sadly died shortly after.
The underground carpark was closed to the public while local police investigated the crash.
The Mazda driver, a 23-year-old woman from Port Augusta, was subsequently arrested by police and charged with causing death by dangerous driving. She was refused bail and appeared in the Port Augusta Magistrates Court on Monday 13 October. Her next court appearance will be Wednesday 28 January.
The lives lost on South Australian roads to date is 79.
