Three men have died in separate fatal crashes in South Australia overnight.

Emergency crews were called to Railway Terrace, Osborne, in Adelaide's north-west, just after 2:30am after a motorcycle carrying two people crashed near Midlunga railway station.

A 19-year-old Lower Mitcham man died at the scene, and a 17-year-old Taperoo boy received life-threatening injuries and was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

It is unclear which person was the motorcyclist and which was the passenger.

The second fatal crash was at Western Flat, about 10 kilometres south of Bordertown, in the state's south east.

Just before midnight, police and emergency services responded to reports of a car rollover on Stott Road.

The driver, a 20-year-old Bordertown man, died at the scene.

On Sunday morning, police and emergency services also responded to a serious crash on Gawler–One Tree Hill Road, at Yattalunga, north-east of Adelaide, where a car crashed into a tree.

The driver and sole occupant, a 42-year-old Williamstown man, died at the scene.

Gawler–One Tree Hill Road was closed between Uley Road and Humbug Scrub Road.

The crashes brought the state's road toll to 39, the same as the same time last year.
