Wild weather overnight has shut down many roads on Kangaroo Island, including the island's main road to the ferry terminal.  Motorists are advised to take care due to flooding and fallen trees.

A drainage culvert is flooded on Hog Bay Road at Haines, about halfway between Kingscote and Penneshaw.

Just before 4am on Wednesday 5 October, a vehicle attempting to cross the flooded culvert became stuck.  Luckily, the driver was helped from his vehicle by a passing motorist and there were no injuries.

Motorists are advised to detour via Redbanks Road to Boundary Road.  This route is now open to all traffic after a fallen tree was cleared.

Hog Bay Road is expected to remain closed for at least the next 8 to 12 hours.

SeaLink Kangaroo Island is aware and notifying ferry passengers.
