SA: Two deaths on Adelaide roads

ADELAIDE, April 2 AAP - A second person has died on Adelaide's roads, doubling last year's
South Australian Easter road toll in the first 24 hours of the holiday period.

A woman died when her car collided head-on with a truck in the north Adelaide suburb of
Salisbury about 8pm (CST).

Police are investigating why her car veered into the path of the oncoming truck.

Her death followed that of a 13-year-old girl who was hit by a car while crossing a road in
Adelaide's north-west just after 1pm.

There was a single death on South Australian roads over the four day Easter break last
year.

The deaths today take the state's road toll to 39 compared with 54 for the same time last
year.
