Northern Territory Police are calling for information in relation to a single vehicle crash which occurred during the early hours of this morning at Cossack.

A vehicle travelling inbound towards Katherine has left Florina Road, crossing a driveway, before striking a power pole head on. The vehicle involved has then driven away after the incident.

As a result of the incident, power was disrupted to a property and Power and Water are replacing the power pole due to the extensive damage.

Several items have been recovered from the scene. They include:

  • a distinctive large size socket set for use on large size vehicles

Based on this information, officers believe the vehicle involved may be a work vehicle, possible a 4x4 or utility with a bullbar and spotlights. The vehicle will likely have noticeable damage to the front end.

Investigations into the crash are currently ongoing.

Anyone with information about the incident or who witnessed the crash is urged to notify police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
