UPDATE 11.30AM: A PEAK hour pileup on a busy Darwin road has been cleared by first responders.
A NT PFES spokesman confirmed traffic had returned to normal following a three-vehicle crash on Tiger Brennan Dr at the intersection of the Charles Darwin National Park Access Rd.
The incident along the outbound lane was reported to police about 6.40am.
The peak hour crash caused significant delays along the major intersection.
St John Ambulance NT operations manager Craig Garraway said a man in his mid-20s was treated for a serious head injury.
Mr Garraway said three people were assessed by paramedics, with the male driver taken to Royal Darwin Hospital.
The two other drivers involved were assessed but did not need to be taken to hospital.
NT Police said a second three-car crash occurred only 80m away from the original crash, likely due to distracted driving.
Mr Garraway said no one was injured as a result of the “rubber necking” minor crash.
NT Police have not confirmed if any charges are expected in relation to the crashes.
