Driver killed in sheep truck rollover

Emergency services were called to the scene, near Bungaree, about 8km north of Clare on Horrocks Hwy, about 9.15am on Tuesday.

A 24-year-old man from Balaklava died at the scene.

An SA Ambulance spokesman said the male driver of the truck — carrying a full semi-trailer load of sheep — was trapped inside the vehicle and a MedSTAR helicopter was sent. But he sadly died.

Police also have had to euthanise a number of sheep that were injured in the crash and locals are trying to round up a further 20 that ran off.

Horrocks Highway is closed from Barinia Road to RM Williams Way.

Bungaree Road is also closed.
