The Northern Territory Police Force is continuing to call for information in relation to a fatal motorcycle crash that occurred on the Stuart Highway near Wycliffe Well on Tuesday 20 January 2026.
Around 6am, police received a report of a motorcycle crash north of Wycliffe Well, where a twenty-two-year-old male was located deceased at the scene.
Investigations have since established that a group of four adult males and one youth had allegedly stolen three motorcycles from a nearby remote station overnight and were travelling along the Stuart Highway between Ali Curung, Wycliffe Well and the Devils Marbles Hotel when the crash occurred.
Police believe the group was riding two red motorcycles and one blue motorcycle. None of the motorcycles were displaying fixed registration plates and the riders were not wearing safety equipment.
