Three people are dead including a pedestrian, a cyclist, and a motorcyclist after a horror weekend on SA roads.

A 17-year-old boy died on Sunday night, after his motorbike collided with a car in the Murraylands at the intersection of Burdett Road and Survey Road in Pompoota.

Meanwhile, the driver of the car, a 17-year-old Murray Bridge boy, was taken to hospital uninjured for observation.

In an earlier incident, a 20-year-old pedestrian was found lying on the side of a Port Augusta road. Police believe the man was struck by a car and killed in a hit-run crash.

It’s the second fatal crash on the Augusta Highway in as many days, after a cyclist was killed on the Augusta Highway at Redhill on Saturday afternoon.

The third fatality was a 69-year-old Norton Summit cyclist who was killed on Saturday, 90km south along the Augusta Highway, at Redhill.

The cyclist collided with a Ford Van towing a trailer about 3pm.

In the meantime, a pedestrian was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital on Monday morning after he was hit by a truck at Toorak Gardens on Portrush Rd and Stannington Ave, just before 7.30am.
