A woman has died following a single vehicle rollover on the Cox Peninsula this morning.

Watch Commander Senior Sergeant Greg Pusterla said Police were called to the rollover 7km from Wagait Beach on Cox Peninsula Road just after 8.00 am.

“The scene was also attended by staff from a local clinic and volunteer firefighters.

“A 47-year-old woman has died. The male driver and one passenger have been transported to Royal Darwin Hospital.

“Major Crash investigators are en route to the scene, and one lane of the Cox Peninsula Road is closed. If you are driving in the area please follow any directions given by police while traffic restrictions are in place.”

The 2015 NT road toll now stands at one, compared with three for the same time last year.
