An Adelaide woman sustained injuries and was airlifted from a Kangaroo Island beach after being run over on Wednesday evening, Jan. 11, 2023.

A SA Police spokesperson said emergency services were called to North Coast Road at Middle River after reports of a crash between a car and a pedestrian at 6.10pm.

Kangaroo Island police, ambulance paramedics and State Emergency Service volunteers were tasked to the beach on the north coast.

The pedestrian, a 42-year-old woman from Woodside, was airlifted to the Royal Adelaide Hospital where she remains with non-life threatening injuries, the spokesperson said.

The initial tasking stated that there had been an accident involving a vehicle versus a pedestrian, and that someone was trapped.

Local reports were that someone was run over by a vehicle on the beach, becoming trapped underneath that vehicle.
