The female driver suffered multiple injuries, including suspected broken ribs and lung injuries.
A male passenger managed to free himself from the wreckage of the car. He only suffered minor injuries.
Both were taken to Katherine Hospital in the care of St John Ambulance paramedics.
The woman was later taken to the Royal Darwin Hospital by a fixed wing CareFlight aircraft.
