A car nearly ended up in the River Torrens after a crash on War Memorial Drive, North Adelaide last night.

Just before 11.30pm on Tuesday 7 April, police and emergency services were called to a single-vehicle crash on War Memorial Drive, North Adelaide.

A ute had left the road on War Memorial Drive, gone down an embankment and hit a tree on the northern bank of the river.  Luckily, the tree prevented the Ford Ranger from ending up in the River Torrens.

The driver, a 24-year-old Medindie man, sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital by ambulance.

His ute was towed from the scene.

Investigations into the crash are ongoing.
