Police are investigating a hit and run crash at Reynella last night.

About 8.50pm Wednesday 6 December Southern District police were patrolling along Bains Road when they spotted a Hyundai Tucson with no lights on swerving all over the road.

At the same time police received a call from a member of the public to say that his car, that had been parked on South Road near the intersection of Pimpala Road, had been side swiped by a black Hyundai that did not stop at the scene.

Thinking this was more than likely the same car, police followed the vehicle until they managed to stop it on Bains Road and speak to the driver. The driver, a 34-year-old Reynella East woman, was taken to hospital as a precaution where blood will be taken to test for alcohol or drugs in her system.

Her car was towed from the scene and impounded for 28 days. She is expected to be charged with numerous traffic offences pending the results of her blood test.
