Man faces charges over fatal cash

A man is facing charges over a fatal crash north of Adelaide that claimed the life of one woman and left six people in hospital.

The 40-year-old man was driving a car that police say was involved in the crash but was not damaged when two others cars collided at the intersection of the Copper Coast and Yorke highways on Monday.

A woman in her 30s, who was a passenger in one of the cars, died at the scene.

Three adults, including both drivers and three children were all taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The charged driver has been reported for causing death by dangerous driving and aggravated driving without due care.

He will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
