Police are investigating after a vehicle allegedly evaded them and later crashed in Yatala following a targeted hoon operation late last night.
At around 11:15pm police were conducting a covert hooning operation with the assistance of Polair when a vehicle was allegedly observed driving dangerously on Stanmore Road.
Police closed in on the vehicle after it drove into a small residential street and pulled over.
As police entered the street to intercept the vehicle, the Holden Commodore sedan allegedly drove onto the grass curb and around a police car to evade them.
The Commodore then allegedly evaded police a second time when an officer stood on the roadway and gave the driver a direction to stop.
Polair continued to track the Commodore as it continued along Stanmore Road at high speed, allegedly travelling through a red traffic light and almost crashing into another vehicle.
The vehicle has then collided with a pole, flipping the vehicle onto its roof before catching on fire.
The 20-year-old male driver and a 17-year-old female passenger suffered shock and bruising.
A 19-year-old male passenger suffered a broken neck.
All three were taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a non-life threatening condition.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.
