"I think he's in shock, he's gone to hospital," Julian Roeger from Kanga Coachlines said.

"I'm glad there were no students on board, no children, that there was the driver and he is good… as good as can be," Roeger said.

Earlier, SA Police said the 23-year-old woman who died at the scene was from Elizabeth North.

"The driver of the sedan, a 22-year-old Freeling man and the other passenger, a 19-year-old Davoren Park woman were flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital for treatment, with the passenger being treated for serious injuries," SA Police said in a statement.

The 36-year-old bus driver was taken to the Lyell McEwin Hospital with minor injuries.

The road was closed for several hours while Major Crash investigators assessed the scene.

Investigations are continuing.
