Teenage boy dies after being struck by two cars on Hindley Street

An 18-year-old man from Greenwith has tragically passed away following a hit-and-run incident on Hindley Street in Adelaide's CBD. The fatal accident occurred on Saturday night around 11PM, when the young man was struck by a car and then fell into the path of a four-wheel-drive. Emergency services were promptly called to the scene, and despite the efforts to save his life, the young man succumbed to his injuries at the hospital shortly after.

Hindley Street, a well-known area in the city with a vibrant nightlife, was closed by police to manage the aftermath of the tragic event. Major Crash Investigators were also dispatched to the location to gather evidence and determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. The street was subsequently reopened around 2:15 AM on Sunday morning.

Police have urged any witnesses who have not yet come forward to contact Crime Stoppers, as their testimony could be crucial in understanding the events leading up to the man's death. This unfortunate incident marks the 70th life lost on South Australian roads this year.
