Police said that a 32-year-old woman was taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital with serious injuries Saturday following a crash in Medindie. The woman, who was not named by South Australia Police, was later pronounced dead, according to a news release.

The driver, not named in the release either, was "known to the woman," police said.

The police department said Tuesday that because of privacy laws, it is unable to confirm the names of those involved.
