It's alleged a car was driven dangerously through the area before striking and killing a 27-year-old man.

A 16-year-old male and a 65-year-old woman were assaulted with an edged weapon and sustained serious injuries, police said.

They were treated at the scene before being flown to Royal Darwin Hospital.

Police have set up crime scenes as investigations continue.

The Victoria Highway is expected to remain closed in both directions for the remainder of Tuesday.
