Northern Territory Police Fire and Emergency Services are calling for information after a traffic incident involving a vehicle fire occurred in Alice Springs early Saturday morning.

Around 2:25am, Joint Emergency Services Communications Centre received reports of a vehicle fire at the Stuart Highway and Wills Terrace intersection.

CCTV footage reviewed by police showed a silver Holden Commodore travelling outbound on Willis Terrace when it approached the Stuart Highway intersection and a red Holden Commodore contacted the rear of the vehicle, causing the silver Holden to lose control and crash.

A group of people exited the crashed vehicle and fled the scene on foot.

The occupants in the red holden commodore then approached the crashed vehicle and began causing further damage before they also fled the scene on foot.

A short time later, the silver Holden Commodore became engulfed in flames.

Police and Fire and Rescue Services attended the scene, and the vehicle fire was extinguished.

A 21-year-old male later approached the officers in attendance and informed them he was the owner and driver of the red commodore.

He has since been transported to Alice Springs Hospital for treatment and blood testing.

Police urge anyone with information about the incident to make contact on 131 444 and quote reference NTP2400105383.
