Northern Territory Police have arrested a man in relation to a hit and run that occurred yesterday afternoon in Wulagi.

Around 4:10pm, police received reports of a collision involving two pedestrians and a vehicle. The driver of the vehicle failed to stop and render assistance and fled the scene.

The two pedestrians were transported to Royal Darwin Hospital, one of which was assessed as having life threatening injuries while the other suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
