Most recently, four people were confirmed dead in a car crash on the Kakadu Highway.
Two men and a woman died at the scene and another woman died on the way to hospital, NT Police believed high speed and alcohol were definite factors in the crash.
A 33-year-old female was the sole survivor of the crash. Following the crash, she walked from the scene and flagged down a passing motorist.
“These tragic deaths bring the 2018 road toll to 42 compared to 23 this time last year,” a NT spokeswoman said.
Commander Tony Fuller said one death on our roads is one too many.
“In the last week five Territorians did not make it home to their families. At this rate we will double the number of people killed on our roads last year.
“We urge all road users to take care. Enough is enough” he said.
