Man charged after 18yo dies in NT hit-run

A 50-year-old man has been charged over an alleged hit and run that killed an 18-year-old woman in Alice Springs.

Northern Territory Police on Saturday said they'd charged the man with hit and run causing death over the Thursday night incident on Gap Road.

Detectives believe the man was driving a white Mitsubishi Triton ute with Queensland registration plates when he struck and killed the teenager.

They're appealing for any witnesses to contact them. The 50-year-old is due to face court on Monday.
