"Tragically, this is yet another preventable death occurring on NT roads and has resulted in significant trauma for the man's family and friends in the lead-up to Christmas," said Detective Senior Sergeant Brendan Lindner.

"Major Crash detectives remain on scene in Jabiru. At this stage of the investigation, it is apparent that alcohol and speed are contributing factors involved in this crash.

"As we approach the festive season, this should serve as a warning to all who continue to drink drive and expose others and themselves to the risk of serious injury or death."
