Young pedestrian killed in hit-and-run in Adelaide's north-east
A 20-year-old pedestrian has been killed in a hit-and-run crash in Adelaide's north-east.
The young woman was struck on North East Road at Hillcrest, near Forbes Street and a service station, on Tuesday night.
Emergency services were called to the spot at about 11pm.
"Sadly, there was nothing police or paramedics could do, and the 20-year-old woman from Greenacres was pronounced deceased,"
police said.
Major Crash investigators have examined the scene and spoken to witnesses, who reported that a silver sedan was involved.
Police said the car did not stop and they were now urging the driver to come forward.
Police have asked for any other witnesses — as well as drivers with dashcam footage, "including of the woman's presence on the roadway before the fatal crash" — to contact them.
They are also seeking CCTV footage and have asked anyone with information about the car, which they said could now have front-end damage, to contact Crime Stoppers.
The woman was the 29th person killed on the state's roads this year.
Her death came just hours after a 17-year-old boy from Gawler Belt suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash on Haydon Road at Kangaroo Flat.
Police said the young driver hit a heavy roller parked on the roadside.
The boy was flown to hospital.
Major Crash investigators are examining the circumstances of the incident.

ASIC sues Westpac's RAMS over alleged systemic misconduct writing home loans
Corporate regulator ASIC has sued RAMS, alleging it engaged in systemic misconduct when arranging home loans. ASIC has accused the now-defunct Westpac brand of breaching its obligations under credit laws and engaging in "widespread unlicensed conduct" between June 2019 and April 2023. The allegations include that RAMS staff submitted fake pay slips as part of mortgage applications, and altered customers' debts and expenses so they would meet loan serviceability requirements. RAMS was owned by Westpac, which announced in August 2024 it would shut the RAMS brand and absorb its home loans into the broader group. "RAMS allowed years of unlawful conduct to occur across its franchises, creating the opportunity for loans to be provided to customers who otherwise may not have qualified for those loans, and thereby increasing commissions earned by RAMS franchisees." RAMS has admitted liability for the contraventions and remediated customers who were negatively affected by the misconduct.
