Woman pleads not guilty over alleged hit-run crash murder

Hayley Catherine McCarthy-Long, a 22-year-old woman from Stockport, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of 25-year-old Daniel Harrison in a hit-run crash in Adelaide's north on November 11, 2025. The incident allegedly occurred when McCarthy-Long struck and killed Harrison with her car. She will appear in South Australia's Supreme Court later this year to face charges of murder, endangering life, and leaving the scene of an accident.

McCarthy-Long's lawyer claimed that her client was in a vehicle attacked by a group of men, including Harrison, when the incident occurred. The court has also heard that police are analyzing CCTV footage and investigating evidence suggesting that the crash was not a spontaneous collision, but rather a targeted attack by two groups of people.
