Man who police say was drink driving detained by public after allegedly trying to flee crash

Police say a drink driver tried to run from the scene of a crash between a ute, a car and a motorcycle in South Australia's Barossa Valley.

The 38-year-old Lyndoch man allegedly produced a blood-alcohol reading of 0.177 and was charged with drink driving, driving unlicensed and leaving the scene of a crash.

SA Police said he was driving a Toyota HiLux ute at about 7pm last night when he lost control on the Barossa Valley Way and crashed into a Mercedes driven by a 53-year-old Lyndoch woman.

A motorcycle trailing the Mercedes collided with the rear of that car, injuring the 46-year-old male rider from Lyndoch.
