Woman arrested after spate of hit-run crashes across Adelaide
Police say the 32-year-old woman is expected to be charged with offences including the aggravated assault of an emergency worker when she is medically fit.
An Adelaide woman has been arrested following a series of hit-and-run collisions in the city's north-eastern suburbs late last night. SA Police received reports of a car striking another on Montague Road at Ingle Farm and then allegedly fleeing the scene around 12:20am. It will be alleged that the woman, a 32-year-old from Pooraka, was involved in three more hit-run crashes shortly after.
Police allege she was driving dangerously on the wrong side of the road towards the city in Medindie. The woman also reportedly punched a police officer and bit another during her arrest, though the officers involved were not seriously injured. The victim of the last crash was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The woman is expected to face charges including driving without due care, dangerous speed, failing to stop at the scene of a crash, and aggravated assault of a prescribed emergency worker once she is medically fit.
