TWO motorcyclists are dead and five people were injured in three separate crashes on SA's roads.
In the first fatal accident, a motorbike and a truck crashed on the down track of the Heysen Tunnels about 3.45pm.
Two lanes on the down track of the South Eastern Freeway are closed and long delays are expected.
In the second fatal crash, a motorcycle and a car collided on Haines Rd, Banksia Park.
A family in a Toyota Hilux was backing out of a driveway when the motorcycle crashed into the rear passenger seat at high speed. A young boy has been rushed to hospital in a critical condition while his father is in a serious condition.
Police are advising motorists to avoid Haines Rd, with southbound traffic being diverted down Coulls Rd.
The SA road toll is now three, compared to two at the same time last year.
The crash happened on the Sturt Highway, about 10km east of Waikerie, just after 4pm.
Ambulance crews were at the scene shortly after and all three people are being taken to Waikerie Hospital with suspected fractures.

I have just become a member of your forum, and in cruising the site have come across this article about the accident in the tunnels. I am the Father In-law of the lad (Adam) that was killed in the accident...It was my first trip away with the S.O.O.K.S club and Adam's second ride as a SOOK. We were gone for a Week riding through SA/VIC and along the Great Ocean road....we were nearly home and Adam had not put a foot wrong all week. It was the hardest thing I have ever had too do and that was to ring my Daughter. A bit over two years has gone and we still struggle some days coming to terms with the accident and don't understand why trucks arn't made to have there parkers on when in tunnels but anyway. I would like to thank everyone for all there kind wishes and hope to catch up oneday for a ride if ya ever heading to Broken hill. thanks Peter
Thanks Hilly & Mongrel
Hey Gator, deepest sympathies go out to you and your family, and the families of your son in law who was tragically taken from you all. P.S thank you for showing us around Broken Hill & Silverton this weekend. Hopefully if we ever get back up there again, we'd meet again. Regards Ashley.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Having lost a brother i know the pain it causes the family. Take care, and god bless.
