Police received the report at about 9:30 am. The deceased was located a few metres from the vehicle and it appears he was not wearing a seat belt.

The 25-year-old passenger was located approximately 100 metres from the vehicle and conveyed to the Utopia clinic for treatment, he was released shortly after.

Initial investigations indicate the Holden Commodore rolled a number of times after the driver lost control when going over a slight grade and hump on the dirt road.

Police believe alcohol and speed may have contributed to the crash.

Members from the Alice Springs Major Crash Investigation Unit are continuing with their investigations.
