On a Monday afternoon in suburban Adelaide, a stolen Range Rover became the instrument of a moment that collapsed the ordinary into the dangerous — a police officer struck and dragged, a fleeing man himself brought down by traffic, and the law left to reckon with the consequences. What began as a routine intercept of a stolen vehicle in Lockleys became, within seconds, a scene of injury and flight. Two people were hospitalised; one faces serious charges. The incident is a reminder that the gap between a traffic stop and catastrophe can be measured in the length of a reversing car.
