Thirteen people have been killed on South Australian roads so far this year — making it the second worst start to the year in a decade.
The road toll was four at this time last year.
Assistant SA Police Commissioner Ian Parrott said distraction, including fatigue, had been responsible for at least five of the deaths.
He said police were investigating whether dangerous driving played a part in four of the crashes, whether excessive speed was involved in two and whether alcohol was a factor in one.
