The Northern Territory Police Force is investigating the circumstances of a motor vehicle crash that occurred early this morning in Alice Springs.

Around 1.10am, police CCTV operators sighted a motor vehicle crash at the intersection of Stott Terrace and Hartley Street.

A white Toyota Hilux had initially collided with a black Toyota hatchback at the intersection of Telegraph Terrace and Stott Terrace, before continuing east along Stott Terrace. The Hilux subsequently struck a light pole before coming to a halt after colliding with a nearby tree.

Emergency services responded and identified the 46-year-old male driver of the white Hilux had allegedly suffered stab wounds to his back and chest prior to the crash. He was conveyed to Alice Springs Hospital in a serious, but stable condition.

Police believe the incident is related to an aggravated burglary that occurred earlier in the evening at a residence on Smith Street. Police received reports that one female and three males allegedly unlawfully entered the premises and threatened the 51-year-old male victim, before stealing items and his blue Toyota Hilux parked onsite.

The persons involved are believed to be known to each other.
