He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and causing injury by dangerous driving.
He was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court next month.

'Crying and yelling' after crash
The owner of the restaurant, Kiet Tran, was cooking when he heard a "big bang".
He then saw the dying girl in his car park and covered her with a tablecloth.
"The lady from the car was jumping out and crying and yelling — she was in shock," Mr Tran said.
"The man came out to help saying 'it's not good to touch her, we don't know [what to do]. She was face down'."
He felt bad for the girl's parents.
"I can imagine the parents … I know it's chaos in the family — I can feel it and it's really bad because I'm a father too,"he said.
SA Police's acting officer in charge of the Traffic Support Branch, Damien Epps, said investigators would look at whether "the manner of driving" and speed were factors in the crash.
"We're pleading with the public to drive to the conditions, to do the right thing on the roads. It's got to stop," Acting Superintendent Epps said.
