Port Adelaide player to appear in court after allegedly fleeing hit-and-run

Port Adelaide AFL player Jarman Impey has been summonsed to appear in court for allegedly fleeing after crashing into four parked cars on an Adelaide street.

The 21-year-old was interviewed by police on Sunday and reported for driving without due care, failing to exchange particulars and failing to report the collision.

Impey's white Commodore was seen travelling on the wrong side of the road on George Street in the central Adelaide suburb of Norwood around 7pm on Saturday night.

Police said the car ran into a ute, which subsequently hit the Toyota sedan in front of it, before continuing down George Street and crashing in an Audi, which was pushed into a BMW.
