Investigations and a major clean up operation will continue today after a road train rolled on the Carpentaria Highway, 120km east of the Stuart Highway, yesterday.

The truck was carrying 52,000 litres of diesel fuel from Darwin to the Macarthur River Mine when the rollover occurred.

Initial investigations indicate the last two trailers of the truck rolled after they travelled onto the verge of the road shortly after 9:40 am.

As a result of the crash, approximately 20,000 litres of diesel fuel was lost from the tanks.

The 55-year-old male driver was not injured in the rollover.

Police and Fire Emergency Response Group members from Borroloola attended the scene and investigations are continuing.

NT WorkSafe has been advised of the incident.

The truck company involved have provided a recovery team to the site.
