Peweeena Road, Mingbool, South Australia, where the single-vehicle accident occurred

A South Australian Police spokesperson said they were alerted to the crash by a neighbor who lived near the scene and also through an Apple alert.

Some iPhones and Apple Watches have a built-in 'Crash Detection' feature that allows users to reach emergency services through an automated 'Emergency Call', Apple said.

The feature helps detect serious collisions with vehicles such as “sedans, minivans, SUVs, utes and other passenger cars.”

When a user's device detects a collision, such as “front, side, rear, or rollover impacts,” an audible alarm is triggered, along with an alert displayed by the device.
