A man has told how his ex-girlfriend allegedly tried to run him down in her car before crashing into a home in Adelaide’s South.

The man, who is known as Duke, says he was visiting a friend at a home in Grazing Ave at Morphett Vale when the incident unfolded about 5am.

Police were called to the scene after a Toyota sedan smashed through the front bedroom of the home.

Two people were asleep in the room at the time but neither were injured.

Duke says he was allegedly forced to dodge a car being driven by his ex-partner — the mother of his two children, aged 7 and 9 — before the smash.

“I don’t understand it,” he said.

“I’m happy my kids weren’t in the car so that’s all I’m happy about.

“I’ve told the cops heaps of times that she’s going to hurt somebody.”

Duke said he escaped injury but the incident caused a “fair bit” of damage to the house.

“I’m hoping the day gets better from now,” he said.

Police, who confirmed it was not a random incident, said the suspect fled the scene and was arrested a short time later at another Morphett Vale house.

A 36-year-old Huntfield Heights woman was charged with numerous offences, including acts to endanger life, property damage and other traffic offences.

Neighbours say they were shocked to hear a commotion outside in the early hours of this morning.

“I heard the car running fast and I could hear her coming back and went straight into the driveway and this man came out with a stick and banged it on the bonnet,” Maria Composto, 81, said.

“She was (allegedly) trying to … hit him but he banged again.

“And all of a sudden … she went in and I heard the bang.”

Mrs Composto she was still shaken.

“ I was supposed to go to church this morning but I’m not feeling (up to it),” she said.

Another neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said there was “always a lot of stuff going on” at the house.

“We just heard the car … going back and forth, I think, and screeching and crashing and banging,” she said.

Police are continuing to investigate the incident.

It is expected that she will be refused police bail and will appear in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court on Monday.
