Driver treated for minor injuries after car flips in Adelaide CBD

A woman received treatment for minor injuries after her car overturned in Adelaide's central business district on Thursday night. The 52-year-old driver was able to exit her Tesla unassisted following the single-vehicle crash.

Police were called to Twin Street, near Rundle Mall, around 6:15 PM after reports of the incident. The vehicle reportedly collided with three bollards before flipping onto its side. The driver, a resident of St Peters, was treated at the scene for her injuries, which were described as minor.

On Friday morning, the scene had been largely cleared, though remnants of glass and plastic were visible, along with a small patch of sand apparently used to soak up oil. The three bollards, standing about three feet high, were located approximately 20 meters from the mall. One of the bollards was significantly bent from the impact.

Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash. The presence of the bollards is credited with preventing the vehicle from potentially entering the busier Rundle Mall area.

Three bollards that stand about three feet high are about 20 metres from the mall. The middle bollard is quite bent over. If they weren't in existence and that car travelled into the mall; it could quite easily have done that.
