Emergency Services personnel are currently travelling out to the scene of a fatal car crash that was reported to police at 1:00 pm this afternoon.

It is alleged that the car involved was travelling with six occupants along the Victoria Highway, approximately 120 km's west of Timber Creek when the crash occurred.

The male driver was trapped in the car, three children were injured and one child, a five year old, was killed.

It is unknown at this stage whether the passenger, a pregnant female, was injured.

Police from Timber Creek and Katherine, NT Fire and Rescue Volunteers and Ambulance Officers from Kununurra are currently en route to the scene.

This now brings the Northern Territory road toll to four, compared to two for the same period last year.
