The driver and passenger then fled the scene, but were arrested a short time later after being tracked by the Dog Operations Unit.

He has been charged with 10 traffic offences, including two counts of both drive dangerous cause serious harm and hit and run.

He was also charged with driving with a prohibited drug in blood.

He was remanded to appear in Darwin Local Court today.
