Emergency services have attended the scene of several recent caravan accidents.
With more and more caravans on the road at the moment, there appears to have been a corresponding uptick in the number of accidents involving them … including at least two yesterday.
Two people were injured when a car towing a caravan flipped on the Arnhem Highway in the NT.
Police said they responded to reports of the accident near the Lambells Lagoon turn-off, some 55 kilometres southeast of Darwin, at about 10.15am yesterday.
The NT News reports that the two people who were in the car that crashed both received minor injuries.
There were traffic delays on the Arnhem Highway for a couple of hours while the caravan was removed.
Similarly, there were huge delays on the South Eastern Freeway near Mount Barker in the Adelaide Hills after a caravan accident just after 8am yesterday.
The Adelaide Advertiser said photos from the scene showed a caravan on its side blocking a section of the highway, amid thick fog.
The accident happened on the down-track heading into the city between Mount Barker and the Hahndorf on-ramp.
It is understood there were no serious injuries relating to the incident.
