Police responding to traffic crash at Southern region

Northern Territory Police have closed the Lasseter Highway to all traffic following a single vehicle rollover involving a truck transporting gas, earlier today.

Motorists are advised to avoid travel in the area, which is 70km west of the Erldunda intersection, as a 100m exclusion zone has been implemented around the crash scene, effectively blocking the Lasseter Highway to all traffic.

Police, Fire and Rescue Services responded to the report of the crash just after 2pm today.

The driver, and sole occupant of the vehicle, was transported to the Yulara clinic with non-life threatening injuries to his upper body.

Fire and Rescue crews arrived on scene and found a slow gas leak, which was unable to be rendered safe.

The road in this area is expected to be closed overnight until the truck can be safety recovered tomorrow.
