South Eastern Freeway reopens after pedestrian, 79, fatally hit by car A 79-year-old pedestrian has died after being hit by a car on the South Eastern Freeway, in the second such incident in a month. The Upper Sturt man was hit by a grey Subaru station wagon about 9.30am, near the Onkaparinga overpass, on the Freeway's uptrack near Hahndorf. Police report the man was crossing the road when he was hit by the Subaru. Several people travelling along the freeway yesterday morning reported seeing a man walking and collecting cans before the incident. Traffic was closed for several hours before the freeway reopened in both directions. Police urge anyone who saw the man walking along the median strip or side of the freeway leading up to this crash or that witnessed the impact to contact Crime Stoppers. Sue Peters, 46, from Mitchell Park, stopped her Toyota sedan on the freeway about 7pm on August 30 after either breaking down or running out of petrol. Police said as Ms Peters stepped from her car, her dog jumped out and ran onto the freeway.
