A 60-year-old woman is in a critical condition after a crash at Yumali last night.

“The driver of the car, a 60-year-old Meningie woman suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to the Royal Adelaide Hospital where she remains with critical injuries,” SA Police said in a statement this morning.

“Thankfully the driver of the truck, a 24-year-old Naracoorte man, wasn’t seriously injured.”

Road closures remain in place on the Dukes Highway but are expected to be cleared soon.

“Please avoid the area if possible,” SA Police said.
