Driver arrested after crash on Tapleys Hill Road

About 7pm Tuesday 4 November, police and emergency crews were called to Tapleys Hill Road in Fulham Gardens where a Holden wagon collided with a Stobie pole.

The occupants of the car ran off but were found nearby.

The driver, a 36-year-old Seaton man, was arrested and charged with driving without due care, failing to provide his personal details and failing to answer police questions in relation to the crash. He was bailed to appear at Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on 12 December.

Neither he nor his 22-year-old passenger sustained serious injuries.

The Stobie pole collapsed and blocked Tapleys Hill Road in both directions causing significant delays and diversions were put in place while SA Power Networks restored the infrastructure. The road has since reopened.

Anyone who witnessed the crash who hasn't yet spoken with police is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at www.crimestopperssa.com.au or on 1800 333 000.
